Moated site and fishpond, 200m south-west of Hilderstone Hall is a medieval defensive and domestic enclosure located in Staffordshire. The site comprises a substantial moat surrounding a central platform, typical of high-status medieval settlement, accompanied by an associated fishpond that would have served both practical and ornamental functions.
