Wolvesacre Hall Moated Site is a medieval domestic enclosure located in Flintshire, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the reference FL178. The site comprises a moated homestead of medieval date, representing a form of aristocratic or high-status domestic settlement characteristic of the medieval period in Wales and the border regions. The moat itself provided both defensive protection and status symbolism for the occupant, whilst also serving practical purposes for water management and possibly fish farming. The remains survive as earthwork features that preserve evidence of medieval settlement patterns and social hierarchy in the Flintshire landscape.
