Norwell Woodhouse moat and fishpond is a medieval defensive earthwork and associated water feature located in Nottinghamshire. The monument comprises a substantial moated enclosure typical of high medieval settlement patterns, dating from the twelfth to fourteenth centuries, with the fishpond forming part of the wider manorial landscape infrastructure. The moat itself survives as an impressive earthwork defining the domestic precinct, whilst the fishpond represents the practical exploitation of water resources for food production characteristic of medieval aristocratic and gentry residences. The site provides archaeological evidence of medieval domestic organisation and the integration of defensive, residential, and economic functions within the planned layout of a significant landholding.
