Moated site and fishponds at the Bishop's Palace is a medieval monument located in Worcestershire, comprising defensive earthworks and water features associated with the episcopal residence. The moated enclosure and adjacent fishponds date from the medieval period and represent the landscaping and resource management practices typical of high-status ecclesiastical establishments. The site demonstrates the physical remains of infrastructure that would have served both defensive and practical functions, including the provision of fresh fish for the palace household. The earthworks remain visible as landscape features and contribute to understanding the material culture and spatial organisation of a medieval bishop's seat.
