The moated site at Grove Farm is a medieval settlement earthwork located in Buckinghamshire. The monument survives as a substantial moat defining an enclosure that once surrounded a domestic or manorial residence, typical of medieval rural settlement patterns from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites served both defensive and status functions, marking the residence of a person of some local importance during the medieval period. The survival of the moat as an earthwork feature provides evidence for the medieval occupation and organisation of the landscape in this part of Buckinghamshire.
