Olveston Court moat complex and earthworks is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of a medieval fortified residence with its surrounding defensive and domestic features. The site, located in Gloucestershire, consists of a substantial moat enclosing the former manorial dwelling, together with associated fishponds and other earthwork features that reflect the medieval period of occupation and the economic activities of its inhabitants. The moat system demonstrates the defensive and status-conscious character typical of medieval gentry residences, whilst the fishponds indicate the importance of aquaculture to the estate's subsistence and commercial economy. The monument represents a significant surviving example of medieval settlement and landscape organisation in the region.
