Marton moated monastic grange is an ancient monument in Cheshire comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval religious agricultural settlement. The site includes a moated enclosure that once protected a grange, or outlying farm, belonging to a monastic house, together with three fishponds arranged in sequence and connected by channels, reflecting the practical management of water resources typical of monastic estates. The base of a stone cross, likely of medieval date, survives within the monument complex and may indicate the spiritual or administrative significance of the location. The moated grange and associated features represent the medieval monastic economy and land management practices, with the site having been identified and recorded as a scheduled ancient monument.
