Derwen Moated Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference GM444. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of medieval Welsh gentry residences, where the water-filled ditch served both defensive and status-affirming functions. Dating to the medieval period, the moated site represents the domestic arrangements of the Welsh landed classes during the later medieval centuries. The physical remains of the earthwork, including the characteristic moat and associated platforms, survive as evidence of settlement hierarchy and architectural investment in the Welsh countryside during this era.
