Wybert's Castle is a medieval moated site located in Lincolnshire, England. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure that represents a form of defensive domestic settlement characteristic of the medieval period, particularly common among minor nobility and gentry in eastern England. The moat, which survives as an earthwork feature, would have enclosed a residential complex, though standing structures from the occupation phase are no longer extant. The site dates to the medieval period, reflecting patterns of settlement and landholding typical of medieval Lincolnshire's rural landscape.
