Windmill Pool moated site is a medieval monument located in Northamptonshire, comprising a moated enclosure with associated water management infrastructure. The site dates to the medieval period and represents a form of settlement that combined domestic occupation with deliberate water control, a practice common among manorial and high-status sites of the era. The moat itself functioned both as a defensive feature and as part of a broader hydrological system that exploited the local topography for water management purposes. The surviving earthworks preserve evidence of the pool and associated channels that once characterised this landscape, demonstrating medieval approaches to water engineering and settlement design.
