Moated site at Grange Farm is a medieval defensive and domestic enclosure located in Devon. The monument comprises a water-filled moat surrounding an elevated platform, a characteristic form of high-status residence common in medieval England, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat would have served both practical defensive purposes and as a status symbol for its occupants. Such sites often developed around farming enterprises, as suggested by the farm name, and represent the settlement patterns of medieval landholding classes during the period of feudal tenure.
