Moat with fishponds at Bagworth is a medieval earthwork monument comprising a motte-and-bailey defensive structure associated with managed water features. Located in Leicestershire, the site dates to the medieval period and represents the integration of domestic fortification with agricultural water management typical of substantial manorial settlements. The fishponds would have served both practical purposes of food production and as a landscape feature enhancing the prestige of the site.
