Old Mountains moat, fishpond and warren is a medieval monument located in Northamptonshire, comprising earthwork features that reflect the medieval exploitation of the landscape for subsistence and sport. The site includes a moated enclosure, fishpond, and warren, all of which represent typical medieval manorial facilities for food production and game management. These monuments date to the medieval period and survive as earthwork remains that document the integration of domestic, agricultural, and hunting activities within a single estate complex. The warren in particular testifies to the medieval practice of rabbiting, which became an increasingly important source of protein and fur among the medieval aristocracy and gentry.
