Defended Enclosure 250m NE of Pont Henllan is a prehistoric promontory fort situated in Ceredigion, Wales, and registered as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference CD276. The site exploits natural topography to create a defensive position, characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in Wales, though the precise dating remains subject to archaeological interpretation. The enclosure is defined by earthwork defences that utilise the promontory's natural scarping to enhance protection on exposed sides. Such monuments represent significant evidence of organised settlement and territorial control during the later prehistoric period in the region.
