Moated grange at Stoughton is a medieval agricultural settlement in Leicestershire, consisting of a substantial moated enclosure that served as the demesne farm of a religious house. The site dates to the medieval period and exemplifies the monastic economy of the High and Late Middle Ages, when such granges functioned as centres of agricultural production and management for the parent monastery or priory. The moat itself, which survives as an earthwork feature, enclosed the principal buildings and yards of the working farm. The site represents an important category of medieval rural monument documenting the extensive landholdings and economic organisation of the medieval Church.
