Rudland Close monastic grange is a medieval agricultural establishment located in Yorkshire, approximately 750 metres south-east of Saddle Stone. The site represents a grange belonging to a monastic house, functioning as an outlying farming property that managed demesne lands and generated income for the parent monastery during the medieval period. Granges of this type were characteristic features of monastic economy from the twelfth century onwards, particularly under orders such as the Cistercians. The physical remains at Rudland Close reflect the infrastructure required for large-scale medieval agricultural production and storage.
