Moated Site at Trefenter is a post-medieval domestic moated site located in Ceredigion, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference CD127. The site comprises a rectangular moated enclosure typical of medieval and post-medieval defensive or status-conscious domestic arrangements, representing settlement patterns and land management practices in the Welsh countryside. Such moated sites in Wales are relatively uncommon compared to their prevalence in England, making this example of particular regional interest for understanding territorial organization and domestic organization during the late medieval and early modern periods. The monument survives as an earthwork feature, preserving evidence of the ditch system that once defined and protected the homestead.
