Coed y Cwm Ringwork is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Wales and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference Cadw SAM GM117. The ringwork comprises a circular or oval ramparted enclosure typical of the twelfth-century period, when such fortified homesteads were constructed throughout Wales and the Anglo-Norman frontier regions. The monument's physical form consists of an earth bank and ditch system designed to enclose and defend a domestic or administrative centre. Ringworks of this character represent an important phase of medieval settlement and fortification before the development of more substantial stone castles in the region.
