Middleton Moated Site is a medieval moated homestead located in Wales and designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference SAM GM378. The site comprises the characteristic water-filled or formerly water-filled ditches that enclosed a residential enclosure, a defensive and status-indicating feature typical of high-status domestic settlements of the medieval period. Such moated sites were particularly common in Wales and the Marches during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, serving both practical and symbolic functions for the gentry and minor nobility who inhabited them. The physical remains at Middleton preserve evidence of this important phase of Welsh medieval settlement and domestic organisation.
