Moated site, fishponds, and associated building platforms 117m west of Chanstone Mill is a medieval settlement complex located in Herefordshire. The monument comprises a moated enclosure, evidence of fishponds, and building platforms that indicate domestic and possibly agricultural occupation during the medieval period. The moated element suggests a residence of some status, as such features typically enclosed the dwellings of minor gentry or substantial farmers between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries. The associated fishponds indicate economic management of the site, reflecting the importance of freshwater fish as a protein source in the medieval diet.
