Site of Hawstead Place and associated fishponds is a medieval and early post-medieval manorial complex in Suffolk. The site preserves earthwork remains of a substantial residence and its attendant fishponds, which represent the agricultural and domestic arrangements typical of a gentry or noble household. The fishponds, a distinctive feature of medieval elite landscape management, indicate the economic importance of fish husbandry to the estate. The site dates primarily to the medieval period with evidence of occupation continuing into the early modern era, and it survives as an important example of the material landscape of rural power and consumption in East Anglia.
