Sawcliffe medieval village and moated site is a deserted medieval settlement located in Lincolnshire, England. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a former village settlement together with a moated enclosure, indicative of a manorial centre that was likely occupied during the medieval period. The visible archaeological features preserve evidence of the settlement's layout and social structure, with the moat representing a defensive or status-marking feature typical of medieval manor houses. Like many rural settlements in the Midlands, Sawcliffe appears to have been depopulated during the later medieval period, leaving behind these earthwork remains as a record of medieval rural life and landscape use.
