Monastic grange, 40m south west of Musden Grange Farm, is a medieval agricultural outlying farm belonging to a monastic house. The site represents the physical infrastructure of monastic land management in the medieval period, when religious institutions maintained satellite properties to exploit distant holdings and generate revenue through pastoral and arable farming. The grange survives as an archaeological monument, with its location and designation indicating potential structural remains or earthworks associated with the medieval settlement. Such monastic granges were characteristic features of the English landscape from the twelfth century onwards, particularly under the management of orders such as the Cistercians.
