Ingrave Farm moated site is a medieval defensive and residential enclosure located approximately one hundred metres west of Ingrave Farm in Eccleston, Lancashire. The monument comprises a substantial moat with an associated connecting channel, features typical of medieval manorial settlements that served both practical and status-related functions during the medieval period. The site represents a form of fortification and land management common among the gentry and landholding classes in north-western England, where moated sites proliferated from the twelfth century onwards. The physical remains, preserved as an earthwork, provide evidence of medieval settlement patterns and the organisation of rural land use in the region.
