Stoke Albany moated site and fishponds is a medieval monument located in Northamptonshire, England. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a moated enclosure associated with fishponds, dating to the medieval period and representing a typical arrangement of aristocratic or gentry-class settlement infrastructure. The moat would have served both defensive and status-conferring functions, whilst the fishponds indicate the economic importance of managed fish production to the estate. The earthworks survive as landscape features and constitute evidence of medieval settlement, land management, and social hierarchy in the English countryside.
