Latchley's Farm moated site and fishponds is a medieval monument located in Essex, comprising a moated enclosure associated with adjacent fishponds. The moated homestead dates to the medieval period and represents the characteristic domestic and agricultural infrastructure of a medieval farming establishment. The site preserves earthwork remains of both the defensive or status-marking moat surrounding the farmstead and the carefully managed water features used for fish cultivation, which were important food sources for medieval rural communities. Such moated sites with integrated fishponds are typical of medieval Essex and demonstrate the integration of domestic settlement with specialized agricultural production during the medieval period.
