The moated site and fishpond at Moat Farm is a medieval residential monument located in Staffordshire. The site comprises a moat of substantial proportions together with an associated fishpond, features characteristic of the manorial landscapes of medieval England from approximately the 12th century onwards. The moat would have enclosed a domestic or fortified residence, whilst the fishpond served both practical and aesthetic functions within the estate's management. Such monuments are significant indicators of medieval settlement patterns and the organisation of rural landholding during the period.
