Moated Site North West of Bertholey House is a medieval domestic moated site located in Wales, designated as Scheduled Ancient Monument MM040 by Cadw. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding what would have been the residential and domestic core of a medieval holding, typical of the settlement patterns established in Wales during the later medieval period. Such moated sites represent a form of domestic fortification and status symbol among the Welsh gentry and English settler communities, offering both practical defence and symbolic demonstration of rank and authority. The survival of the moat's earthwork form indicates the site's abandonment as a residential focus, preserving evidence of medieval settlement organisation and land use in the Welsh landscape.
