Moat and fishpond at Wanswell Court is a medieval defensive and domestic earthwork located in Gloucestershire. The moated enclosure dates from the medieval period and represents the residential and agricultural infrastructure of a significant rural holding. The monument comprises the substantial earthworks of a moat surrounding the site of the former manor house, together with an associated fishpond that would have served both practical subsistence and status functions typical of medieval manorial establishments. These features, preserved as earthworks, are characteristic of the twelfth to sixteenth century period of moated site development in the English Midlands and Welsh Marches.
