The moated site, two fishponds and associated earthworks at Knight House Farm is a medieval monument located in Somerset, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of medieval manorial settlement, accompanied by two fishponds which represent significant medieval agricultural and subsistence infrastructure. Such arrangements were characteristic of the medieval period, when moats served defensive and status functions whilst fishponds provided an important food resource for the resident lord and his household. The surviving earthworks preserve evidence of the medieval settlement pattern and land management practices of the Somerset countryside.
