Ingrave Farm moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located approximately 100 metres west of Ingrave Farm in Eccleston, Lancashire. The site comprises a moated platform with an associated connecting channel, representing a form of defensive or status-affirming earthwork characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Moated sites of this type typically served as the centres of manorial estates, combining practical water management with architectural assertion of landholding. The monument survives as an archaeological earthwork and forms part of the broader pattern of medieval settlement and land use in the Lancashire landscape.
