Moat with fishponds at Bagworth is a medieval earthwork monument located in Leicestershire. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure accompanied by associated fishponds, features characteristic of high-status medieval settlement and land management from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat itself would have served both defensive and practical purposes, whilst the fishponds indicate an investment in food production typical of manorial estates during the medieval period. The earthworks remain substantially visible in the modern landscape, preserving evidence of medieval domestic and agricultural organisation in the English Midlands.
