Moated Site E of Pont-y-Bat Wood is a medieval domestic moated site located in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference BR050. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure, a settlement type characteristic of the medieval period, particularly common in Wales during the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries. The moat itself, formed by a water-filled ditch surrounding the domestic platform, would have served both defensive and status-signifying functions typical of minor gentry or substantial farming families of the medieval Welsh borderlands. The site remains an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and domestic organisation in Breconshire.
