Cwm Nash Defended Enclosure is a prehistoric promontory fort located inland in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference GM614. The site comprises a defended enclosure positioned to exploit natural topography, with defensive works constructed to protect settlement or administrative activity during the prehistoric period. The earthworks consist of banks and ditches that define the enclosed area, characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in Wales, though the precise dating and duration of occupation remain subjects of archaeological study. Such defended enclosures served strategic functions in their landscape, controlling local territories and resources during a period of increased social complexity and potential inter-group competition.
