Mareham Grange is a scheduled ancient monument in Lincolnshire comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval grange associated with monastic land management. The site preserves ridge and furrow cultivation patterns and associated field boundaries that reflect the agricultural organisation of the grange during the medieval period. Such granges formed part of the monastic estate system, functioning as farming centres that supplied provisions to their parent religious houses. The earthworks visible today constitute an important archaeological record of medieval rural settlement and monastic economy in the Lincolnshire fenland region.
