Lower House Moated Site is a medieval domestic settlement enclosed by a water-filled moat, located in Radnorshire, Wales. The site represents a form of fortified residence characteristic of the Welsh Marches during the medieval period, where moated homesteads provided both defensive capability and status to their occupants. The moat itself survives as a substantial earthwork feature, preserving evidence of the settlement's layout and the investment made in its construction. As a protected scheduled monument, the site contributes to understanding patterns of medieval settlement and land occupation in the border regions of Wales.
