Plas Yr Alarch Moated Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under reference Cadw SAM MG219. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a moated enclosure, a fortification method employed by Welsh gentry and minor nobility during the medieval period to defend and demarcate their residential properties. The moat, which would originally have been water-filled or at least deliberately maintained as a damp obstacle, surrounds the interior platform where domestic and possibly administrative buildings once stood. The site dates to the medieval period and represents the type of defended homestead characteristic of Welsh landed society during the later medieval centuries.
