Medieval Moated Site 400m N of Undy Church is a medieval domestic settlement comprising a moated enclosure located in the parish of Undy in Monmouthshire, Wales. The site consists of a substantial water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch surrounding a raised platform that would have supported domestic and ancillary structures typical of medieval manorial settlements of the 13th to 15th centuries. The moat represents a characteristic form of elite or substantial peasant residence during the medieval period, providing both defensive capability and status demonstration. The site is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw's protection, reflecting its archaeological and historical significance as evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land management in the Welsh-English borderlands.
