Moated Site North West of Bertholey House is a medieval domestic moated site located in Wales and recorded as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw's reference MM040. The site consists of a rectangular moat that formerly enclosed a dwelling and associated structures, typical of defensive domestic architecture employed by Welsh and Anglo-Norman landholding families during the medieval period. Moated sites of this kind represent a significant form of settlement fortification in Wales, particularly from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, and their presence reflects patterns of land occupation and social hierarchy in medieval rural communities. The site's survival as an archaeological feature preserves evidence of domestic organisation and the material circumstances of medieval Welsh society.
