Moated site, Newton is a medieval residential enclosure located in Lincolnshire, England. The site comprises a substantial water-filled ditch that formerly enclosed a domestic dwelling and its associated farmyard, a settlement pattern characteristic of high-status medieval rural habitation between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries. The moat represents investment in both defence and status display typical of the medieval minor gentry and prosperous farming classes. The earthwork survives as an important archaeological monument documenting the organisation of medieval settlement and land use in the East Midlands.
