Defended Enclosure 350m NNW of Ty-Uchaf is a prehistoric defensive earthwork located in Breconshire, Wales, forming part of the archaeological record of Iron Age settlement and territorial organisation in the Brecon Beacons region. The monument consists of a defended enclosure defined by earthen banks and ditches, characteristic of prehistoric fortified settlements constructed during the Iron Age period. The site's defensive character suggests its use as a refuge or settlement nucleus for a local community, typical of enclosed homesteads and hillfort settlements common throughout Wales during the pre-Roman Iron Age.
