Llannerch Pentir Defended Enclosure is a prehistoric promontory fort located inland in Ceredigion, Wales, and is recorded under Cadw's Scheduled Ancient Monument designation CD267. The site comprises a defended enclosure formed by substantial earthwork defences that exploit the natural topography of the promontory to create a fortified position. Dating to the Iron Age, the monument represents a significant example of prehistoric defensive settlement in the region, typical of the hillforts and promontory fortifications that characterise settlement patterns across Wales during the later prehistoric period. The surviving earthworks demonstrate the strategic use of landscape in Iron Age settlement and defence.
