Moated monastic grange and fishpond complex at Middle Battenhall Farm is a medieval agricultural installation of monastic origin located in Worcestershire. The site comprises a moated enclosure associated with fishponds, typical of the managed estates maintained by religious houses during the medieval period to support their communities and generate income. The grange functioned as an outlying farm worked in connection with a mother monastery, with the moat and water features reflecting both practical agricultural management and the monastic preference for hydraulic engineering. The complex is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument and represents an important surviving example of medieval monastic land use and economic organisation in the region.
