Moated fishpond complex with moat, fishstews, seven fishponds with sluices, ridge and furrow and a leat is a scheduled ancient monument in Nottinghamshire that represents a substantial medieval aquaculture and agricultural enterprise. The complex dates from the medieval period and comprises multiple integrated components including a moated enclosure, artificial fishponds connected by sluice systems, fishery structures known as fishstews, an irrigation channel or leat, and surrounding ridge and furrow cultivation patterns. The sluice-controlled fishponds indicate deliberate water management for fish production, which formed an important element of the medieval manorial economy. The site preserves substantial archaeological evidence of both high-status medieval settlement and the organised exploitation of water resources for food production.
