Moated Lodge with associated water channels and fishpond at Quorndon is a medieval residential complex and associated water management system in Leicestershire. The site comprises a moated enclosure containing the lodge itself, connected to an integrated network of channels and a fishpond that served both practical and decorative functions typical of high-status medieval settlements. The water features indicate careful landscape management and suggest the site's occupation by a person of considerable means during the medieval period. The earthwork remains survive as evidence of the settlement's layout and the importance of water control in medieval domestic and agricultural organisation.
