Moated grange at Moor Grange is a medieval agricultural settlement in Yorkshire, England, consisting of a farmstead enclosed by a substantial water-filled moat. The site dates to the medieval period and represents the characteristic form of a grange, an outlying farm belonging to a monastic house or feudal estate, with the moat serving both defensive and practical functions related to drainage and stock management. The earthwork remains include the moat itself and associated platforms and banks that once supported buildings and ancillary structures within the enclosed precinct. As a moated site, it forms part of the wider pattern of medieval settlement and land exploitation that characterised the Yorkshire landscape during the later medieval period.
