Ring Dam is a medieval fishpond located in Lincolnshire, England. The site consists of an embanked pond of typical medieval construction, designed for the artificial management and harvesting of freshwater fish, a common feature on monastic and manorial estates throughout England during the medieval period. The earthwork survives as a substantial linear or roughly circular dam structure, characteristic of the engineering approaches employed in the twelfth to sixteenth centuries to create and maintain such productive water features on the landscape.
