Titchmarsh Castle moated site and fishponds is a medieval residential and agricultural complex located in Northamptonshire. The site comprises an earthwork castle platform surrounded by a substantial moat, together with associated fishponds that formed part of the medieval manor's economic infrastructure. Dating from the medieval period, the monument represents the physical remains of a high-status residential settlement, with the moated enclosure typifying the fortified domestic architecture favoured by the Norman and post-Conquest gentry. The fishponds demonstrate the importance of managed freshwater fish farming to the estate's subsistence and status during the medieval centuries.
