Hen Gwrt Medieval Moated Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Wales and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference MM094. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure, a characteristic defensive feature of medieval high-status domestic occupation in Wales and the Marches, typically dating to the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat itself, formed by water-filled ditches surrounding the settlement, would have served both practical and symbolic functions, protecting the occupants and their property whilst demonstrating social status. The site represents an important example of medieval settlement patterns and domestic archaeology in Wales, preserving evidence of the residential arrangements and social hierarchies of its period.
