Plas Yr Alarch Moated Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Wales and designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw reference MG219. The site comprises a moated enclosure characteristic of medieval Welsh gentry residences, dating to the medieval period when such water-defended homesteads served both defensive and status-signalling functions. The moat itself represents a substantial earthwork feature that would have enclosed the residential and domestic structures of the period. Such moated sites in Wales, though less common than their English counterparts, demonstrate the adoption of Norman and Anglo-Norman defensive architectural practices among the Welsh landholding classes during the medieval era.
