Mynydd Rhyd Ddu Enclosure is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Denbighshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference DE252. The site consists of a defended enclosure positioned on elevated terrain, characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in Wales, though the precise dating and chronological phases of occupation remain subjects of archaeological study. The monument preserves evidence of defensive earthworks typical of hillforts across the Welsh uplands, where such elevated positions offered strategic advantage and control over surrounding territory. Like many comparable sites in the region, Mynydd Rhyd Ddu represents an important element of the prehistoric defensive landscape that characterised the later prehistoric period in north Wales.
