Clawdd Du is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference MM036. The structure consists of a substantial bank and ditch system that formed part of the fortified defences associated with medieval settlement and territorial control in the region. Dating to the medieval period, the earthwork represents the type of linear defensive construction employed during the establishment and maintenance of Welsh lordships and administrative centres. The monument's survival as an upstanding earthwork provides archaeological evidence for medieval patterns of settlement hierarchy and defensive strategy in Wales.
