Moated grange is a medieval agricultural settlement located in Leicestershire, England. The site is defined by a substantial water-filled moat that formerly enclosed a grange, a farm or rural estate managed as part of a monastic or manorial holding. The moated enclosure represents a characteristic defensive and status-bearing feature of medieval grange complexes, particularly those associated with religious institutions during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The earthworks remain visible as a prominent archaeological monument, preserving evidence of medieval rural settlement patterns and monastic land management in the East Midlands.
