The moated site and two fishponds 300m west of Moorcourt is a medieval settlement complex located in Hampshire. The monument comprises a substantial moated enclosure alongside two associated fishponds, features typical of high-status manorial occupation during the medieval period. The moated site would have served defensive and prestige functions characteristic of later medieval aristocratic and gentry residences, whilst the fishponds indicate organised management of the estate for food production. The survival of these earthworks provides evidence of medieval land use and settlement patterns in the Hampshire landscape.
