Medieval Moated Site 400m N of Undy Church is a medieval domestic settlement defended by a water-filled moat, located in the parish of Undy in Monmouthshire, Wales. The site dates to the medieval period and represents a form of fortified domestic residence common among minor landholders and gentry in Wales during the later Middle Ages. The moat itself survives as a substantial earthwork feature, forming an irregular enclosure that would have provided both defensive and status-indicating functions typical of medieval Welsh gentry settlements. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw's protection, the site preserves evidence of medieval settlement patterns and domestic organisation in the border region between England and Wales.
