The Medieval fishpond complex, located 80 metres south west of the Manor House in Lincolnshire, is a scheduled ancient monument comprising a series of interconnected water management features characteristic of high medieval estate management. Fishponds of this type, typically dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, were integral to the economy and provisioning of manorial establishments, providing a reliable source of protein in the form of carp, pike, and other freshwater fish. The complex survives as earthwork features in the landscape, preserving evidence of the engineering and agricultural practices of its period. Such monuments represent important archaeological records of medieval rural settlement hierarchy and the exploitation of water resources within the manorial system.
