Derwen Moated Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Wales and designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference GM444. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of medieval settlement patterns in Wales, representing a form of defended or status-conscious residence that became established during the medieval period. Moated sites of this character generally date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served as the focal points of small agricultural estates. The physical remains at Derwen preserve evidence of this medieval occupation in the form of earthwork banks and the distinctive water-filled or water-channelled moat that would have surrounded the central domestic platform.
