The Double moat and fishpond at Queenbury is a medieval earthwork monument located in Hertfordshire. The site comprises two distinct moated enclosures with associated fishponds, features characteristic of high-status medieval settlements dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The earthworks demonstrate the landscape management practices and defensive or status-marking strategies typical of manorial sites during the medieval period. Such double-moated complexes are relatively uncommon and suggest occupation by a family of considerable local importance.
