Stoke Albany moated site and fishponds is a scheduled ancient monument located in Northamptonshire comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval moated enclosure alongside associated fishponds. The moated homestead, which dates to the medieval period, represents a form of domestic settlement typical of the 12th to 16th centuries, with the moat serving both defensive and drainage functions. The fishponds, which occupy the wider landscape around the moated site, indicate the agricultural and economic practices of the medieval estate, as the management of water and fish stocks formed an integral part of manorial economy. The earthworks survive as significant topographical features that preserve evidence of medieval land use and settlement patterns in the English Midlands.
