Fishponds 170m south of Damstead Farm is a medieval archaeological monument located in Nottinghamshire. The site comprises a series of constructed water management features typical of the medieval period, when artificial fishponds were established as important resources for food production and estate management. Such ponds were characteristic of monastic and manorial landscapes, serving both practical subsistence purposes and demonstrating the status and organisational capacity of their proprietors. The remains survive as earthwork features in the landscape and contribute to understanding the medieval economy and land use patterns of the region.
