Overview

History & significance

Place House moat and fishpond is a medieval earthwork monument located in Northamptonshire. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure with an associated fishpond system, typical of the manorial settlements that characterised the English medieval landscape from the 12th century onwards. The moat itself survives as a clearly defined linear earthwork, whilst the fishpond demonstrates the integration of practical resource management with settlement administration that was characteristic of medieval estates. The monument represents the physical infrastructure of a high-status residence and the agricultural economy that sustained it during the medieval period.
