Moated Site E of Pont-y-Bat Wood is a medieval moated homestead located in Breconshire, Wales, and is recorded on the Cadw Schedule of Ancient Monuments as SAM BR050. The site comprises a substantial rectangular or sub-rectangular moat that once enclosed a domestic dwelling and its associated outbuildings, characteristic of medieval gentry settlement in the Welsh marches during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat survives as an earthwork feature, with the enclosing ditch and internal platform representing the physical remains of this once-occupied domestic space. Such moated sites are among the most significant indicators of medieval social hierarchy and land occupation in Wales, revealing patterns of settlement and territorial control during the medieval period.
