Fishpond complex, 260 metres east of Castle Farm, is a medieval fishpond system associated with the adjacent castle settlement in Warwickshire. The complex comprises earthwork features typical of manorial fishpond construction, reflecting the importance of freshwater fish as a protein source for the castle's inhabitants during the medieval period. Such ponds were characteristically engineered with damming and water management systems to maintain stocks of carp and other species. The site survives as earthwork remains that contribute to understanding the economic and domestic infrastructure of the castle estate.
