Eyton Old Hall Moat is a post-medieval domestic moated site located in Denbighshire, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under reference Cadw SAM DE309. The moat represents a distinctive form of settlement defence and status display characteristic of the medieval and post-medieval Welsh borderlands, where such water-filled ditches provided practical protection whilst serving as a visible marker of the occupant's social standing. The site's post-medieval dating indicates its construction or continued use during a period when moated homesteads remained a preferred defensive and domestic arrangement in this region, despite the broader shift away from such structures in lowland England. The physical remains of the moat itself survive as a significant archaeological feature, preserving evidence of domestic occupation and settlement patterns in the Welsh marches during this transitional historical period.
