Site of Cistercian grange is an ancient monument in Lincolnshire that represents the agricultural infrastructure of monastic landholding in medieval England. The grange functioned as a working farm operated by the Cistercian order, typically managed by lay brothers and designed to exploit the monastery's rural estates for grain production and pastoral farming. Such granges formed a characteristic feature of Cistercian economic organisation from the twelfth century onwards, allowing religious communities to maintain self-sufficiency whilst generating surplus for trade. The physical remains at this location, though now fragmentary, preserve evidence of this important aspect of medieval monastic life and rural economy in the East Midlands.
