Medieval grange and field system, 200m south of Royston Grange is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval agricultural settlement and its associated open fields located near Royston in Derbyshire. The site preserves ridge and furrow cultivation patterns characteristic of medieval arable farming, alongside structural evidence of the grange complex itself, documenting the layout and management of a substantial monastic or manorial agricultural estate. The earthworks date to the medieval period, reflecting the intensive agricultural reorganisation and expansion that occurred across England from the twelfth century onwards. The survival of these field systems and grange infrastructure provides important archaeological evidence for understanding medieval rural economy, land use patterns, and the relationship between monastic institutions and the wider agricultural landscape of the East Midlands.
