Moated grange at Monk Farm is a medieval agricultural settlement located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure that served as a grange, an outlying farm belonging to a monastic institution, and dates to the medieval period. The moat itself represents a characteristic defensive and drainage feature of high medieval rural architecture, protecting the farmstead and its associated buildings. Such granges formed an integral part of monastic estate management systems, enabling religious houses to exploit distant landholdings for agricultural production.
