Tregynon Moated Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference MG204. The site comprises a moated enclosure that represents a form of medieval elite or manorial residence typical of the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, when such defensive or status-signalling earthworks were constructed across Wales and the Welsh Marches. The moat itself, formed by water-filled ditches surrounding a raised platform or island, would have contained timber or stone structures serving as a dwelling and associated agricultural buildings. This form of settlement reflects the medieval Welsh adaptation of Anglo-Norman domestic architecture and settlement practices during the period of Marcher lordship and the development of Welsh gentry estates.
