Great Loyes moated site and fishpond is a medieval monument located in Essex, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure with associated fishpond, typical of high-status domestic settlements of the medieval period. Moated sites of this type were commonly established during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served both defensive and prestige functions for their occupants. The survival of both the moat and fishpond indicates the former significance of the settlement as a place of some importance within the medieval landscape.
