Moated site and fishponds 300m south west and 470m north of Durrance Farm is a medieval monument complex in Worcestershire comprising two separate components of earthwork remains. The site consists of a moated enclosure, characteristic of medieval manorial settlement, accompanied by associated fishpond systems that served both practical and status-affirming functions within the medieval estate economy. The fishponds, positioned at distances from the principal moated site, represent the kind of water management infrastructure typical of substantial medieval landholdings, where such features provided food resources and contributed to the landscape aesthetics valued by the medieval gentry. The monument dates to the medieval period and survives as earthwork evidence of the settlement and productive economy of this Worcestershire locality.
