Henfron Moated Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Wales and designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference MG220. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of medieval manorial settlements, with earthwork remains that define the characteristic water-filled or water-retaining ditch system surrounding a residential platform. Dating to the medieval period, the monument represents a form of high-status domestic occupation common amongst the Welsh gentry and English settlers during the later medieval centuries. The moated site's physical layout and defensive character reflect both the practical and symbolic importance of such enclosed settlements within the medieval Welsh and border landscape.
