St John's Pelham moated site and fishponds is a medieval monument located in Hertfordshire comprising the earthwork remains of a moated enclosure and associated pond features. The site represents a typical example of a high-status medieval residence, with the moat forming a defensive and prestige boundary around a domestic dwelling, likely dating to the medieval period.
