The moat, fishponds and shifted village earthworks at Ullesthorpe comprise a complex of medieval settlement features located in Leicestershire. The site includes a substantial moated enclosure, associated fishponds, and the earthwork remains of a village that underwent relocation, typical of settlement patterns in the English Midlands during the medieval period. These features represent evidence of medieval land management, water resources exploitation, and changes in settlement distribution that occurred across the region during the later medieval centuries. The earthworks survive as a significant archaeological record of domestic, agricultural, and hydrological activity within a medieval manor.
