Moated site 100m south of Stain Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Lincolnshire. The monument consists of a substantial water-filled or water-retaining ditch forming an enclosure, a characteristic feature of moated sites that proliferated across England during the medieval period, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such sites typically served as the residences of minor gentry or prosperous farmers, with the moat providing both practical defence and a status symbol. The surviving earthworks at this location preserve evidence of this domestic and social organisation, though the specific date of construction and the nature of any structures that once stood within the moat remain to be determined through archaeological investigation.
