Moat NW of Merryborough Farm is a medieval moated domestic site located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The monument consists of a substantial earthwork moat that would have enclosed a residential dwelling, representing a form of settlement hierarchy common in medieval Wales during the period of Norman influence and lordship. Moated homesteads of this type served both domestic and defensive purposes, providing a controlled environment for high-status occupation. The site's survival as an earthwork demonstrates the persistence of medieval landscape features in the Pembrokeshire countryside.
