Moated site and fishponds 250m south west of Middleton Farm is a medieval monument located in Shropshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure alongside associated fishponds, features characteristic of high-status medieval settlement and land management from approximately the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat itself would have served both defensive and status-indicating functions, whilst the fishponds represent the agricultural and food production practices typical of substantial medieval manorial complexes. Such sites are archaeologically significant for understanding medieval settlement patterns, social hierarchy, and the exploitation of water resources in the English countryside.
