The Grove Close moated site is a medieval enclosed settlement located in Northamptonshire, England. The site comprises a substantial moat forming an irregular enclosure, evidence of the defensive and status-bearing characteristics typical of moated homesteads of the medieval period. The moat remains the principal surviving feature of what was once a manorial or high-status residential complex, with the earthworks preserving the ground plan of habitation from the medieval era. Such moated enclosures were particularly common in the Midlands and East Anglia, serving both practical and symbolic functions within the medieval landscape.
