Nant-Cribau Moated House Site is a medieval domestic settlement in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under reference Cadw SAM MG102. The site comprises the remains of a moated house, a settlement form characteristic of the medieval period that provided both defensive and status-affirming features through the construction of water-filled ditches surrounding the dwelling. Such moated sites were particularly prevalent in lowland regions of Britain during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, serving as homesteads for landowners of moderate means. The archaeological remains at Nant-Cribau preserve evidence of medieval domestic occupation and the structural arrangements typical of this distinctive settlement type.
