Tregynon Moated Site is a medieval domestic settlement located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference Cadw SAM MG204. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of the High Medieval period, a defensive and status-signalling feature that was particularly prevalent amongst the Welsh and Anglo-Norman gentry during the twelfth to fourteenth centuries. The moat, which survives as an earthwork feature, would have enclosed a residential and domestic complex, affording both practical protection and visible demonstration of the occupant's social standing. Such moated sites represent an important class of medieval settlement evidence in Wales, revealing patterns of land use, settlement hierarchy, and cultural interaction during the period of Anglo-Norman influence in the Welsh borderlands.
