Ponds SW of Wootton Bridge is a series of medieval fishponds located in Warwickshire. The ponds represent the characteristic water management infrastructure of the medieval period, when such features were integral to the economy and subsistence of rural manorial settlements. The site demonstrates the landscape engineering practices employed by medieval landowners to exploit local topography for fish production, a valuable protein source. The ponds survive as earthwork features that preserve evidence of this important aspect of medieval agricultural and economic organisation.
