Penbidwal Moated Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MM210. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure typical of medieval settlement patterns in Wales, where such defensive or prestige domestic features served to mark the residence of a person of some standing within the local community. The moat itself survives as a substantial earthwork feature, defining the medieval occupation of the site. Such moated sites in Wales are generally dated to the medieval period, reflecting patterns of landholding and settlement that characterised the region during the later Middle Ages, though the precise chronology of this particular example would require archaeological investigation to establish with certainty.
