Moated site and fishpond 170m and 160m south east of Chidleys Farm is a medieval monument located in Shropshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure and associated fishpond, features typical of medieval settlement and land management in the English countryside. Moated sites of this kind generally date from the 12th to 16th centuries and served both defensive and status-affirming purposes for their occupants, whilst fishponds provided an important food resource. The survival of both earthwork features at this location indicates the agricultural and domestic infrastructure of a medieval holding, contributing to understanding of rural settlement patterns in the region during the medieval period.
