Full Description
PRN 41383
There are three moated sites around Grange Farm at TF34158921, TF34288924 and TF34368911. Aerial photographs also show faint traces of additional earthworks extending to TF34338899. The south-west angle of the moat at TF34368911 is the only remaining section. All the other earthworks are ploughed out. The three features appear to be too close together to be the remains of different medieval moats. Perhaps these are the remains of a single moat and the other features are old ponds or garden features in the form of moats. {1}{2}
The three moats are marked on the Ordnance Survey County Series maps of about 1888 and 1905. {3}{4}
The three features were recorded from aerial photographs during the National Mapping Programme. They were interpreted as medieval moated sites. {5}
Louth Park Abbey held land, including a manor, in Keddington during the Middle Ages that it continued to hold until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Although this land was not a formal grange it is possible that this site was the centre of the holdings of Louth Park Abbey in this parish. {6}
