Overview

History & significance

Tallarn Green Moated Site is a medieval domestic moated site located in Flintshire, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of medieval settlement patterns in the Welsh borderlands, where such features served as defensive and status-defining elements for landholding families. The moat itself, which remains visible as an earthwork feature, would have enclosed a residential complex dating to the medieval period, though the precise chronology of occupation requires further archaeological investigation. Like other moated sites in North Wales, Tallarn Green represents an important element of medieval rural settlement hierarchy and the adaptation of English manorial traditions to the Welsh landscape.
