Earthworks SW of Church is a medieval earthwork monument located in Breconshire, Wales, recorded under Cadw's scheduled ancient monument designation BR089. The site comprises earthen banks and ditches of medieval date, typical of defensive or organisational landscape features from the medieval period in the region. Such earthworks commonly relate to settlement patterns, field systems, or minor fortifications characteristic of medieval Welsh rural organisation, though the specific function of this particular monument requires archaeological investigation to establish with certainty. The survival of the earthwork demonstrates the resilience of medieval landscape features in upland Breconshire, where such monuments often remain as the primary physical record of settlement and land use practices.
