Cwrt Llechryd is a moated site situated in Radnorshire, Wales, dating to the medieval period. The site comprises a moated enclosure that represents a form of domestic settlement characteristic of the medieval Welsh borderlands, where such earthwork defences provided both practical and symbolic distinctions of status for their occupants. The moated platform and surrounding ditch structure remain visible as archaeological features, though the site has not undergone extensive modern excavation that would establish precise dating or functional detail beyond its classification as a medieval domestic settlement. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, the site preserves evidence of medieval settlement patterns in this region of central Wales.
