Otter Pond is a moated site located approximately 200 metres west of Dewemede Farm in Huntingdonshire, England. The monument consists of a substantial water-filled moat that once enclosed a medieval residential or manorial complex, representing a form of domestic fortification and status symbol common amongst the landed classes during the medieval period. The site's survival as an earthwork feature, with its distinctive water-filled ditch, provides archaeological evidence of medieval settlement and land use patterns in the Huntingdonshire landscape. The moated enclosure reflects the medieval emphasis on defensive design and social hierarchy, though the structure itself has not been subject to intensive modern archaeological investigation that would precisely date its construction or establish the full extent of associated buildings.
