Moated site, fishponds, icehouse and associated earthworks at Wyeford Farm is a complex of medieval agricultural and domestic structures located in Hampshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure, which served as the defended residential core of a manorial holding, together with fishponds that would have supplied freshwater fish as a food resource and demonstrating the economic productivity of the estate. The icehouse represents a later addition to the complex, indicating continued investment in the property during the post-medieval period. The earthworks collectively reflect the evolving character of a significant rural settlement from the medieval period onwards, with the various features testifying to the agricultural management and domestic arrangements of a prosperous holding.
