Hough Hall moated site, ancillary enclosure and fishpond is a medieval residential complex located in Cheshire. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure typical of high-status medieval settlement, accompanied by an associated ancillary enclosure and fishpond that together demonstrate the agricultural and domestic infrastructure of a prosperous medieval household. The moated platform and surrounding earthworks date to the medieval period, with such fortified domestic arrangements being characteristic of the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries. The survival of the fishpond indicates the importance of managed aquaculture and food production to the self-sufficient estates of the medieval gentry and nobility.
