Caerlan Tibot Defended Enclosure is a prehistoric defensive earthwork located in Conwy, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the reference CN400. The site comprises an enclosure defined by substantial earthen banks and ditches, typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in North Wales, though its precise chronology within the prehistoric period remains to be fully established through archaeological investigation. Such defended enclosures served as high-status settlements or refuges, providing protection for communities and their livestock during periods of territorial competition. The monument represents an important example of prehistoric defensive architecture in the region and contributes to understanding settlement patterns and social organisation in Iron Age Wales.
