Overview

History & significance

Haulton Ring Moated Site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Flintshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference FL100. The site comprises a roughly circular or oval moated homestead, a common form of medieval domestic settlement in Wales and the Welsh Marches dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat, which originally enclosed a defended residence or manor house, survives as an earthwork feature defining the boundary of the domestic precinct. Such moated sites functioned as residences for minor nobility, gentry, or prosperous farmers, providing both defence and status within the medieval landscape of the region.
