Chorley Old Hall moated site and four fishponds is a medieval monument located in Cheshire, England, comprising the remains of a moated enclosure associated with a former hall settlement and an adjacent series of fishponds. The moated site itself dates to the medieval period and represents the defensive or status-conscious landscaping typical of substantial manorial establishments of that era. The four fishponds form part of the broader medieval agricultural and economic infrastructure of the settlement, reflecting the importance of fish farming as a resource within the medieval economy. Together, these features constitute evidence of sustained medieval occupation and the organisation of a significant rural estate in northwest England.
