Moated site NE of Sempringham House Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Lincolnshire, England. The site comprises a water-filled or formerly water-filled moat surrounding a raised platform, a characteristic settlement form of the medieval period, particularly common in the East Midlands and representing the domestic stronghold of a person of some social standing. The moat would have provided both defensive capability and a practical water supply for the inhabitants and their animals. Such moated sites typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, with many established during the high medieval period when modest fortified residences became increasingly prevalent amongst the lesser nobility and substantial landholding classes.
