Hodgeston Moated Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Pembrokeshire, Wales, comprising a moated enclosure that represents a form of defensive residence typical of the medieval period. The site's earthwork features, including the characteristic water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch surrounding the residential platform, reflect settlement patterns and social hierarchies of medieval Wales during a period of significant Anglo-Norman influence in the region. The moated homestead form, whilst more common in England, appears in Pembrokeshire as evidence of cultural and administrative practices associated with Norman settlement and lordship in South Wales. The site is designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference PE246, recognising its archaeological importance in understanding medieval domestic life and landscape organisation in the county.
