The Manor moated site and fishpond complex is a scheduled ancient monument located in Lincolnshire, comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval domestic settlement. The site features a substantial moated enclosure typical of high-status medieval manorial occupation, supplemented by associated fishponds which served both practical and ornamental functions within the manorial landscape. The earthworks are consistent with medieval settlement patterns of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, reflecting the agricultural and feudal organisation of the Lincolnshire countryside. Such moated sites with integrated fishpond systems represent significant evidence of medieval manorial economy and the spatial arrangement of medieval elite residences.
