Enclosure East of Nant Cwm Moel is a prehistoric defensive enclosure located in Wales and recorded under Cadw's Scheduled Ancient Monument designation GM518. The site consists of earthwork defences characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns, comprising banks and ditches that would have served both defensive and territorial functions. Its physical form suggests construction during the later prehistoric period, when such enclosed settlements were widespread across Wales and the broader British landscape. The enclosure represents an important archaeological record of prehistoric settlement organisation and community defensive strategies in the upland regions of Wales.
