Nant-Cribau Moated House Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference MG102. The site comprises the archaeological remains of a moated enclosure, a characteristic form of medieval fortified residence that provided both defensive and status-affirming features to its occupant. Such moated sites were particularly prevalent in the medieval period across Wales and the borderlands, typically dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat itself would have served as a water-filled ditch surrounding the residential platform, whilst the internal structures accommodated the domestic and administrative functions of a gentry household.
