Buckholt Wood Hilltop Enclosure is a prehistoric hilltop enclosure located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference MM258. The monument dates to the Iron Age and comprises a defended settlement situated on elevated terrain, characteristic of hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period in Wales. The enclosure is defined by earthwork defences, which would have served both defensive and territorial functions for the community inhabiting the site. Such hilltop settlements represent significant evidence of Iron Age social organisation and settlement patterns in the Welsh landscape.
