Coed-Cwnwr Moated Site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MM060. The site comprises a water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch that enclosed a residential or defensive position, typical of moated sites that emerged in Wales during the medieval period, particularly from the 12th century onwards. Such moated homesteads served as fortified domestic settlements for minor nobility or gentry, offering both status and practical defence through their distinctive water barriers. The physical remains at Coed-Cwnwr preserve evidence of this medieval settlement pattern characteristic of the Welsh marches and upland regions during the medieval period.
