Coed-Cwnwr Moated Site is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Wales and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MM060. The site consists of a moated enclosure, a characteristic form of medieval settlement and defence that was particularly prevalent in lowland Britain during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat, formed by one or more ditches, would have surrounded a residential or administrative structure, providing both practical defence and a visible marker of status and territorial control. Such moated sites represent the dispersed pattern of medieval landholding and settlement typical of the medieval Welsh borderlands and lowland areas.
