Moated site and two fishponds south of Manor House Farm is a medieval monument located in Lancashire, England. The moated site consists of a defensive or status-marking enclosure typical of the medieval period, surrounded by a water-filled ditch that would have served both practical and symbolic functions for the resident household. The two associated fishponds represent a common medieval agricultural feature, indicating the exploitation of water resources for food production on what was likely a manorial estate. Together, these earthworks testify to the organisation of rural settlement and resource management during the medieval period in this region.
