Clawdd British is a medieval enclosure located in Breconshire, Wales. The monument comprises an earthwork consisting of a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of medieval field systems and land divisions in the Welsh borderland. Dating to the medieval period, the enclosure reflects patterns of settlement and land management typical of medieval Wales, where such earthworks served to demarcate territorial boundaries and facilitate agricultural organisation. The site's preservation as an earthwork provides evidence for the medieval occupation and land use of the Breconshire landscape during this formative period of Welsh settlement history.
