Old Byland monastic grange is a medieval agricultural establishment located to the west and north-west of Valley View Farm in Yorkshire. The site represents the physical infrastructure of Byland Abbey's monastic economy, dating from the medieval period when Cistercian houses maintained outlying granges to manage their substantial landholdings and agricultural production. Archaeological evidence and surviving earthworks indicate the presence of stone structures typical of monastic grange settlements, which served as centres for the collection, processing, and storage of agricultural surplus. The grange exemplifies the systematic exploitation of rural landscapes by monasteries during the later medieval period, before the disruption of monastic life at the Dissolution.
