The moated site and fishpond at Hunt End, located approximately 120 metres south-east of Chapel House Farm in Worcestershire, is a medieval monument consisting of a substantial rectangular moat with an associated fishpond. The site dates to the medieval period, typical of defended or high-status domestic sites that were common in the English landscape from the twelfth century onwards. The moat survives as a clearly defined earthwork feature, indicating the former presence of a manor house or significant residential structure, whilst the adjacent fishpond demonstrates the economic and dietary resources of the medieval occupants. Such moated sites were characteristic of the medieval gentry and provide important archaeological evidence of settlement patterns and land use in Worcestershire during the Middle Ages.
