Kilgram medieval monastic grange is a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire that served as an agricultural outlying settlement operated by a religious house during the medieval period. The grange functioned as a working farm and storage facility, typical of the extensive landholdings maintained by monasteries to support their communities and generate income. The site preserves earthwork remains that reflect the layout and organisation of such monastic agricultural settlements, which were integral to the economic operations of religious institutions from at least the twelfth century onwards. Kilgram's designation as a scheduled monument acknowledges its archaeological significance in demonstrating medieval monastic land management and the rural infrastructure that sustained England's religious establishments.
