Dolgarn Moated Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference CM252. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a moated enclosure, a characteristic form of medieval settlement defence and status display that was widely adopted in Wales and the English border regions during the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries. The moat itself survives as a substantial water-filled or water-retaining ditch surrounding the residential platform, reflecting both practical and symbolic aspects of medieval domestic architecture. Such moated sites typically housed minor gentry or prosperous farmers and represent an important class of medieval rural settlement in the Welsh landscape.
