Ringwork near Coed Ty-Mawr is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Breconshire, Wales. The monument comprises a circular or oval banked enclosure typical of ringworks, a class of fortified site common in Wales and the Marches during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Such earthwork fortifications served as defended residences or administrative centres for Norman settlers and their Welsh counterparts during the period of Anglo-Norman expansion into Wales. The site's precise chronology and functional history remain subjects of archaeological study, though its morphology and location align it with the pattern of castle-building that characterised the military settlement of Breconshire.
