Moated Site 250m SW of Pencoed Castle is a medieval domestic settlement comprising a moated enclosure situated in the parish of Pencoed in Glamorgan. The site consists of a substantial rectangular moat which would have enclosed a residential dwelling and associated structures typical of the medieval period. The proximity of this moated site to Pencoed Castle itself suggests it may have functioned as an ancillary settlement or the residence of a lesser landholder within the castle's sphere of influence. The monument dates from the medieval period and remains visible as an earthwork feature, though the exact chronology within the medieval centuries requires further archaeological investigation.
