Halghton Lodge Moated Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Flintshire, Wales, and dates from the medieval period. The site is defined by its moated enclosure, a characteristic feature of high-status medieval residences that served both defensive and status-signalling purposes. The moat would have surrounded a residential structure, protecting the dwelling and its associated buildings from unwanted access. As a scheduled monument under Cadw protection, the site represents an important example of medieval settlement patterns in the Welsh borderlands during a period when such fortified domestic sites were established by landholding families of some prominence.
