Bronllys moated site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Breconshire, Wales, and represents a significant example of medieval settlement archaeology in the region. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure, a defensive earthwork feature characteristic of the high medieval period, which would have protected a substantial residential and domestic complex. The moat itself survives as a prominent water-filled ditch surrounding the residential platform, demonstrating the status and resources of its medieval occupants. Dating to the medieval period, the site reflects the settlement patterns and social structures of medieval Wales, with the moat serving both practical defensive purposes and as a marker of the occupant's social standing within the medieval landscape.
