Fishpond in Water Spinney is a medieval fishpond located approximately 600 metres southeast of St Giles's Church at Tattenhoe in Buckinghamshire. The monument represents a form of water management and food production typical of medieval manorial estates, where such ponds were constructed to provide a reliable source of freshwater fish for the lord's table and household. The site survives as an earthwork feature within the landscape, preserving evidence of the pond's former extent and associated dam structure. Such fishponds constitute important archaeological remains of medieval rural economy and land use, and their study contributes to understanding settlement patterns and resource exploitation in medieval England.
