Ludstone Hall moated site and fishpond is a medieval settlement complex located in Shropshire, England. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure that once surrounded a residential dwelling, together with associated fishponds which represent characteristic features of high-status medieval settlement patterns. The moated element dates to the medieval period, reflecting the defensive and status-conferring function of such earthwork enclosures among the landholding classes. The fishpond component indicates the economic and dietary importance of managed fish production at this medieval manor, a practice widespread among the gentry and nobility of medieval England.
