Lower House Moated Site is a medieval moated homestead located in Radnorshire, Wales, dating to the medieval period. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat which encloses the residential platform, a characteristic defensive and status-indicating feature of medieval domestic settlements in the Welsh Marches. The moat survives as an earthwork feature and represents the physical remains of a manorial or gentry residence, reflecting the settlement patterns and social hierarchy of medieval rural Wales. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, the site provides archaeological evidence for medieval domestic occupation and land management practices in the upland regions of Radnorshire.
