Defended Enclosure 300m W of Pant-glas is a prehistoric promontory fort situated in Carmarthenshire, Wales, and forms part of the archaeological record of Iron Age defensive settlement in south Wales. The site consists of fortified earthworks comprising ramparts and ditches that exploit the natural topography of the promontory to create a defensible position, a characteristic feature of Iron Age hill-fort construction in the region. The enclosure dates to the Iron Age period, when such defended settlements served as focal points for community organisation, storage, and protection in late prehistoric Wales. The monument is protected under the Cadw scheduling system as site reference CM382, reflecting its importance to understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and defensive architecture in south-west Wales.
