Overview

History & significance

Moated site and fishpond at Salter Street Farm is a medieval monument located in Warwickshire, comprising a moated enclosure and associated fishpond. The site dates from the medieval period and represents a form of settlement characteristic of the English Midlands during the later medieval centuries, when moated homesteads served both defensive and status-indicating functions for established farming communities. The earthworks survive as ditched enclosures with water-retaining features typical of such complexes, where the fishpond would have provided both sustenance and landscape management for the resident household. This monument contributes to the archaeological understanding of medieval rural settlement patterns and land organisation in Warwickshire.
