Hermit Dam moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Lincolnshire, England. The site consists of a moated enclosure, a defensive feature characteristic of the high and late medieval period, which would have surrounded a residential or administrative building. Moated sites of this type were typically constructed between the 12th and 16th centuries and served both practical and status functions within rural manorial hierarchies. The physical remains at Hermit Dam preserve evidence of the water-filled ditch system that defined the perimeter of the medieval occupation, contributing to the archaeological understanding of settlement patterns and social organisation in medieval Lincolnshire.
