Moated site and a fishpond 160m and 280m south of The Farm, Charlton is a medieval settlement complex located in Shropshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure and an associated fishpond, features typical of high-status medieval occupation from approximately the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat, a water-filled ditch surrounding a residential platform, represents investment in defensive capability and status display characteristic of the medieval period, whilst the fishpond demonstrates the economic importance of aquaculture to the estate. Both features survive as earthworks and form part of the broader pattern of medieval settlement and land management in the region.
