Hen Gwrt Medieval Moated Site is a moated settlement in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference MM094. The site comprises a rectangular moated enclosure that represents a form of medieval domestic settlement characteristic of the medieval period in Wales, where such fortified or semi-fortified homesteads served as residences for the Welsh gentry and their households. The moat itself would have provided both defensive capability and a visual assertion of status, whilst the enclosed space contained the residential and domestic buildings necessary for the operation of an elite household. The site's archaeological significance lies in its preservation of physical evidence relating to medieval Welsh settlement patterns and domestic organisation during the medieval period.
