Laskill Farm is a monastic grange belonging to Rievaulx Abbey, a Cistercian foundation in North Yorkshire. The grange served as an outlying agricultural estate managed by the monks of Rievaulx, forming part of the abbey's extensive landholdings in the medieval period. The site reflects the Cistercian economic model whereby daughter farms and granges were established across the landscape to generate income and provisions for the mother house. Archaeological and structural evidence at Laskill indicates occupation and agricultural use consistent with the medieval monastic period, contributing to our understanding of how Cistercian communities organised their temporal resources beyond the abbey precinct itself.
