Moated site at Grange Farm is a medieval defensive or manorial earthwork located in Devon. The site comprises a substantial water-filled or damp ditch encircling a raised central platform, a configuration typical of moated homesteads constructed during the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites served both practical and symbolic functions, providing protection and drainage whilst denoting the status of their occupants within the feudal hierarchy. The Grange Farm example represents an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and land management practices in the Devon landscape.
