The moated lodge 200m west of the ruins of Bradgate House is a medieval residential enclosure, situated within the historic landscape of the Bradgate estate near Newtown Linford in Leicestershire. The monument comprises a substantial water-filled moat that formerly enclosed a domestic dwelling, representing a form of settlement characteristic of the medieval period. The moated site demonstrates the manorial organisation of the local area and illustrates patterns of medieval landholding and habitation associated with the broader Bradgate demesne. The survival of the moat as an earthwork feature provides evidence of medieval settlement hierarchy and the distribution of residential foci across the estate landscape.
