Moated site 100m south of Stain Farm is a medieval moated enclosure located in Lincolnshire, England. The monument comprises a substantial ditch defining a rectangular or sub-rectangular residential platform, characteristic of the moated homesteads that proliferated across the English Midlands and eastern counties during the medieval period, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites typically served as the fortified residences of minor gentry, prosperous farmers, or manorial officials, with the surrounding water-filled ditch providing both defence and a source of water for domestic and agricultural purposes. The site remains visible as an earthwork feature and represents an important example of medieval settlement hierarchy and rural domestic architecture.
