Moated site, fishponds and associated earthworks, west of All Saints Church, Milton Keynes Village is a medieval monument complex comprising a moated enclosure and adjacent fishponds. The moated site itself represents a form of residential settlement common among the medieval gentry and prosperous peasantry from the twelfth century onwards, with the water-filled ditch serving both defensive and status-signifying functions. The fishponds, which form an integral part of the complex, reflect the medieval economy and dietary practices of the period, particularly the management of freshwater fish as a valued protein source for the settlement. The earthworks survive as significant archaeological features that contribute to understanding the settlement pattern and social hierarchy of medieval Buckinghamshire.
