Fishponds 220m east of St Wilfrid's Church is a medieval monument located in Nottinghamshire, England. The site comprises artificial ponds constructed to support freshwater fish farming, a practice widespread throughout medieval England where such facilities provided a valuable protein source for local communities and religious establishments. The ponds represent the physical infrastructure of aquaculture management typical of the medieval period, demonstrating the organised exploitation of water resources for subsistence and economic purposes. Such fishponds were commonly associated with manorial centres and ecclesiastical properties, and their survival as earthwork features provides archaeological evidence of medieval land use and water management practices.
