Ardeley Bury moated site and fishpond is a medieval settlement feature located in Hertfordshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure and associated fishpond, typical of manorial complexes established during the medieval period, likely dating from the 12th to 14th centuries. The moat would have served both defensive and status functions, surrounding what may have been a substantial residence or administrative centre for a local landholding. The adjacent fishpond demonstrates the importance of aquaculture to the medieval agrarian economy and the management of demesne lands typical of established manorial estates.
