Overview

History & significance

Moated site and fishpond east of Misson village is a medieval earthwork monument located in Nottinghamshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of medieval manorial settlements, accompanied by associated fishpond earthworks that would have served both practical and status-affirming functions for the resident landholding family. Such moated sites, commonly established from the twelfth century onwards, represent significant archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land management practices in the East Midlands. The survival of both the moat and fishpond features indicates the site's continued preservation as an important record of local medieval territorial organisation and aristocratic or gentry habitation.
