Edleston moated site and fishpond is a medieval monument located in Cheshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure together with an associated fishpond, both features characteristic of high-status medieval settlement, particularly from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat would have surrounded a residential complex, serving both defensive and status-affirming functions typical of manorial sites of this period. Such monuments represent important evidence of medieval landholding, agricultural practice, and the distribution of wealth and power in the English countryside during the Middle Ages.
