Full Description

The remains of a homestead moat surviving in two portions at TF31129389 and 31249403 on the 1956 OS map. The farmstead within the moat is called Grange Farm. This may be the site of Utterby Grange, a grange of North Ormsby gifted to the priory probably as part of its foundation grant or very soon afterwards in the mid twelfth century. {1}{4} Only fragments of the south and west arms, centred TF31159385, are extant. {2} There are further enclosures, visible on aerial photographs, to the south-east of the road that appear to be associated. These were interpreted as medieval tofts by the staff of the National Mapping Programme. {3}
