New Moat (Welsh: Y Mot) is a village, parish and community in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

It extends from the southern edges of Mynydd Preseli to the Pembrokeshire-Carmarthenshire border.

Historically in the hundred of Dungleddy, the village takes its name from an ancient motte and bailey defence of which only the artificially built mound now survives.

[citation needed] New Moat was once the seat of the Scourfield family, who are reported to have resided in the area since the reign of Edward I.

[2] At the centre of the village is St Nicholas's church, mainly rebuilt in the 1880s, which retains its medieval tower and 17th-century altar tomb[2] and is a grade II* listed building.
