The medieval moated grange 160m south east of The Grange is a deserted agricultural settlement of medieval date located in Yorkshire. The site is defined by a substantial moat that enclosed the principal farmstead and working areas of a grange, which served as an outlying agricultural holding, likely associated with monastic or manorial landholding. The survival of the moat as an earthwork feature provides evidence for the settlement's medieval layout and the importance placed on the defensive or status-conferring qualities of water-bound enclosures during this period. Such granges formed integral parts of the medieval agrarian economy, and their remains contribute significantly to understanding rural settlement patterns and monastic or noble estate management in medieval Yorkshire.
