Overview

History & significance

The site comprises a moated enclosure characteristic of medieval settlement patterns in Wales, where such defended homesteads served as the residences of minor nobility or substantial landholders during the medieval period. The moat itself represents a substantial earthwork defence, typical of Welsh medieval domestic architecture from roughly the 12th to 16th centuries.
