Hanmer Moated Site is a medieval moated enclosure located in the parish of Hanmer in Flintshire, north Wales. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat which formerly surrounded a domestic residence, typical of the defended manor houses constructed by the Anglo-Norman gentry during the medieval period. The moat remains the most prominent physical feature, defining the boundaries of what was once a high-status settlement, and its preservation allows for understanding of medieval domestic settlement patterns in the region. The site is scheduled as an ancient monument under the care of Cadw, reflecting its significance as evidence of medieval occupation and land management in the Welsh borderlands.
