Plas yn Dinas is a medieval enclosure located in Merionethshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MG078. The site comprises the remains of a defended residential enclosure dating to the medieval period, featuring earthwork defences characteristic of Welsh gentry settlements of the later medieval era. The monument reflects the settlement patterns and defensive strategies employed by Welsh landowners during a period of significant social and political change in Wales, particularly following the Edwardian conquest. The surviving earthworks provide evidence of domestic and possibly administrative occupation within a defended perimeter, though the site has undergone considerable erosion and modification over the centuries.
