Monks Garth moated site is a medieval settlement earthwork located in Lincolnshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a form of defensive or prestigious residential arrangement characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites typically indicate the former presence of a substantial dwelling or monastic establishment, and their survival as earthwork monuments provides important evidence for the distribution and character of medieval settlement patterns across the East Midlands. The site's name suggests a possible connection to monastic land use, though the precise dating and functional history of this particular example would require archaeological investigation to establish with certainty.
