Cornelau Uchaf Enclosure is a prehistoric monument located in Breconshire, Wales, designated by Cadw under reference SAM BR202. The site comprises an earthwork enclosure whose physical form is consistent with Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement patterns common to upland areas of South Wales. The enclosure's defensive or demarcative characteristics reflect the social organisation and land use practices of prehistoric communities in the Brecon Beacons region. Such monuments are significant for understanding the settlement hierarchy and territorial arrangements of pre-Roman Wales, though detailed chronological and functional interpretation requires further archaeological investigation and contextualisation within the wider landscape archaeology of Breconshire.
