Pear Tree Lane Moat and Fishpond is a medieval moated domestic site located in Flintshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference FL175. The site comprises the substantial earthwork remains of a moated enclosure together with an associated fishpond, representing a settlement pattern characteristic of the medieval period in the Welsh borderlands. Moated sites of this type typically served as the residential and defensive centres of minor landholders or gentry during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, combining domestic habitation with elements of status display and resource management through their water features.
