Dolgarn Moated Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference CM252. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of the medieval period, when such water-filled defences served both practical and status-affirming functions for minor landholders and gentry. The moat itself represents a significant investment in landscape modification and would have provided protection and drainage for the residential structure within its bounds. As a surviving example of medieval domestic settlement in south Wales, the site contributes to understanding patterns of rural habitation and land occupation during the medieval period in the region.
