Moat, two fishponds, boundary bank and ditch and two leats is a complex of medieval agricultural and defensive features located in Nottinghamshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of medieval manorial settlements, associated with two fishponds which served both practical and status-conscious purposes within the medieval economy. The boundary bank and ditch define the perimeter of the complex, whilst the two leats—water channels—supplied water to the fishponds and demonstrate the hydrological engineering capabilities of medieval landowners. Together these features date to the medieval period and represent the material infrastructure of a significant holding, reflecting investment in both defence and the management of aquatic resources.
