Coed y Brenin Enclosure is a prehistoric domestic enclosure located in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the reference BR245. The site comprises an earthwork enclosure dating to the Bronze Age or Iron Age period, reflecting settlement patterns characteristic of later prehistoric communities in upland Wales. The monument survives as a roughly circular or oval ditch-and-bank earthwork, typical of the defensive or demarcative enclosures that defined domestic and pastoral spaces during the later prehistory of Britain. Its location within the Brecon Beacons landscape situates it within the broader archaeological context of prehistoric settlement in the Welsh uplands, where such enclosed sites served both practical and potentially symbolic functions for their occupants.
