Dolgwden Enclosure is a prehistoric hillfort located in Wales and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Cadw SAM MG235). The site consists of an enclosure defined by defensive earthworks typical of Iron Age settlement patterns, though its precise dating within the prehistoric period requires archaeological assessment. The monument occupies a defensible position characteristic of hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric era, which served as centres for settlement, storage, and protection. Such enclosures represent important evidence of social organisation and territorial control among Iron Age Welsh communities.
