Bretton Hall Moated Site is a medieval domestic moated enclosure located in Flintshire, Wales, and is recorded as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference FL185. The site comprises a rectangular moated platform typical of high-status medieval settlement patterns in Wales, dating to the medieval period. The moat survives as a substantial earthwork feature that originally provided both defensive and status-marking functions around the residential enclosure. Such moated sites in the Welsh border regions reflect the settlement practices of the medieval Welsh and Anglo-Norman landholding classes during the twelfth to fifteenth centuries.
