Rolleston manor is a scheduled ancient monument in Nottinghamshire comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval manorial complex. The site is defined by three moats and associated fishponds equipped with sluices, together with ridge and furrow cultivation patterns and a leat, features which collectively attest to medieval agricultural management and water control systems. These earthworks represent the physical infrastructure of a medieval estate, with the multiple moats suggesting a substantial holding of some status. The survival of these landscape features provides evidence of the economic organisation and settlement patterns of medieval Nottinghamshire.
