Moated site and associated fishponds 160m east of Little Sarnesfield is a medieval defensive and domestic settlement located in Herefordshire. The monument comprises a moated enclosure, characteristic of high-status medieval settlement from approximately the 12th to 16th centuries, together with adjoining fishponds which served both practical and ornamental purposes. The moat itself would have provided water defence and status display around a now-vanished residence, whilst the fishponds represent investment in resource management typical of medieval landed estates. The site exemplifies the settlement patterns and domestic arrangements of the medieval Herefordshire gentry.
