Moated grange at Monk Farm is a medieval agricultural enclosure situated in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a substantial moat, which formed the defensive and functional boundary of a grange, a farming establishment typically associated with monastic institutions during the medieval period. The site dates to the medieval period, when such granges served as important centres for the management of monastic estates and the organisation of agricultural production. The moat itself represents a significant element of medieval settlement archaeology, preserving evidence of the landscape management and land use patterns characteristic of monastic land tenure in northern England.
