Fishponds 350m north of Scrivelsby Court is a complex of ornamental water features associated with the historic estate at Scrivelsby, Lincolnshire. The fishponds date from the medieval period and represent the type of managed aquatic landscape typical of high-status rural establishments, where such features served both practical and aesthetic purposes. The site comprises a series of interconnected pond basins, now largely overgrown, which would originally have been maintained for fish husbandry and as designed landscape elements. These fishponds remain visible as earthwork features and form an important component of the archaeological record surrounding Scrivelsby Court, documenting the development and management of the estate over several centuries.
