Fishponds, located 250 metres north west of Walwick Grange Farm in Northumberland, is an ancient monument comprising a series of artificial water features. The site consists of a sequence of fishponds that date to the medieval period and likely served the sustenance needs of a nearby manorial settlement or religious community. The ponds represent a characteristic form of resource management practised throughout the medieval landscape, where controlled water bodies were excavated to provide a reliable source of freshwater fish. The monument survives as earthwork features and retains archaeological significance as evidence of medieval agricultural and dietary practices in the North East of England.
