Llanfilo Moated Site is a medieval moated homestead located in Breconshire, Wales, and is recorded in the Cadw Scheduled Ancient Monuments register as BR152. The site consists of a moated enclosure typical of medieval defensive and domestic settlement patterns, with the water-filled ditch forming a characteristic boundary around the central dwelling platform. The monument dates to the medieval period, reflecting the settlement practices of Welsh and Anglo-Norman communities in the post-conquest landscape of Breconshire. Such moated sites served both practical purposes of defence and status, whilst also providing drainage and creating a controlled domestic environment for medieval landowners and their households.
