Llangan Church Cropmark Enclosure is a prehistoric enclosure located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, identified through aerial photography as a cropmark feature. The monument consists of a roughly circular or sub-circular ditched enclosure, typical of later prehistoric settlement or ritual sites of the Bronze Age or Iron Age period. Its identification through cropmark evidence rather than surface remains indicates that the archaeological deposits, including the defining ditch features, survive beneath the current ground surface. The site's proximity to Llangan Church suggests a long history of occupation or significance at this location, though detailed excavation would be required to determine its precise chronological attribution and functional interpretation within the broader context of prehistoric Carmarthenshire.
