Lightwood Farm Moated Site is a medieval domestic moated settlement located in Flintshire, Wales. The site comprises a moated enclosure that represents a form of medieval settlement defence and status symbol characteristic of the medieval period in Wales and the English Marches. Moated sites of this type typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served both protective and prestige functions for their occupants.
