The moated site and two fishponds at Black Notley churchyard is a medieval settlement enclosure located approximately twenty metres east of St Peter's and St Paul's Church in Essex. The monument comprises a substantial moat surrounding a residential platform, together with two associated fishponds which reflect the medieval practice of maintaining managed water features for both sustenance and status. The site dates to the medieval period and represents a characteristic form of high-status settlement organisation typical of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries in Essex. The earthwork remains, though partially obscured by the churchyard environment, preserve important evidence of medieval domestic and economic activity in the parish.
