Cwm Nash Defended Enclosure is a prehistoric promontory fort situated in inland Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference GM614. The site comprises a defended enclosure positioned to exploit natural topography, utilising the surrounding landscape as part of its defensive strategy in the manner typical of Iron Age fortifications in Wales. The earthwork defences consist of banks and ditches that cut across the promontory, creating a stronghold that would have served both defensive and administrative functions for the community that occupied it. This monument represents an important example of the settlement hierarchy and territorial organisation characteristic of later prehistoric Wales.
