Chepstow Park Wood Moated Site is a Post Medieval moated enclosure located in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales. The site consists of a rectangular moated earthwork that reflects the defensive and residential traditions of medieval domestic architecture adapted into the early modern period. The moat, which once enclosed a substantial dwelling, represents the continuation of moated site construction practices that were particularly prevalent in the Welsh Marches and English borderlands, where such features provided both practical protection and status markers for landholding families. The site's Post Medieval dating indicates its use during the sixteenth century or later, when moated sites were being maintained or newly constructed in Wales, often associated with the houses of gentry and established landowners.
