Two moated sites and fishponds, and an associated area of ridge and furrow, west and north west of Court Farm House is an ancient monument comprising medieval agricultural and residential features in Warwickshire. The site contains two distinct moated enclosures, which typically date to the medieval period and served as the defended or status-bearing residences of local landholders, alongside evidence of managed fishponds that would have provided both sustenance and sport. The ridge and furrow earthworks represent open field agriculture, indicating the broader agrarian landscape within which these elite features were situated. The combination of moated sites, fishponds, and arable field systems demonstrates the integration of lordly residence, fish husbandry, and field cultivation characteristic of medieval manorial organisation.
