Moated grange with fishpond at Muston is a medieval agricultural complex located in Leicestershire, consisting of a moated enclosure associated with monastic or manorial land use. The site dates to the medieval period and represents the type of specialist grange establishment maintained by religious houses or major landowners for the management of their estates.
