Norwell Woodhouse moat and fishpond is a medieval earthwork monument located in Nottinghamshire, England. The site comprises a rectangular moated enclosure with an associated fishpond, features typical of high-status medieval domestic settlements dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat represents the defensive and status-bearing characteristics of a manorial residence, whilst the fishpond served both practical and ornamental purposes within the medieval aristocratic landscape. The earthworks remain visible as substantial earthen banks and water-filled ditches, preserving important evidence of medieval settlement and land use patterns in the region.
