Rodbaston Old Hall moated site and fishpond is a medieval monument located in Staffordshire, consisting of a substantial moated enclosure with associated fishpond features. The site represents a typical arrangement of medieval domestic and agricultural infrastructure, with the moat forming a defensive or status-enhancing boundary around the hall complex, whilst the fishpond served both practical and ornamental functions common to medieval manor houses. Dating to the medieval period, the monument demonstrates the settlement patterns and land management practices characteristic of rural Staffordshire during the Middle Ages. The earthwork remains preserve evidence of the layout and scale of what would have been a significant local holding.
