Goldcliff Moated House Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in the parish of Goldcliff in Monmouthshire, Wales. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure, a defensive earthwork characteristic of medieval elite residences, dating to the medieval period. The moat survives as a substantial ditched enclosure that once surrounded a now-levelled house platform, representing a significant example of moated site settlement pattern within the landscape of South Wales. The site reflects medieval land management practices and domestic fortification typical of the medieval Welsh Marches during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries.
