Override method getDefaultValue in your ENUM class:

<?php
namespace App\DBAL\Types;

use Fresh\DoctrineEnumBundle\DBAL\Types\AbstractEnumType;

/**
 * @extends AbstractEnumType<string, string>
 */
final class MapLocationType extends AbstractEnumType
{
    public final const NORTH = 'N';
    public final const EAST = 'E';
    public final const SOUTH = 'S';
    public final const WEST = 'W';
    public final const CENTER = 'C';

    protected static array $choices = [
        self::NORTH => 'North',
        self::EAST => 'East',
        self::SOUTH => 'South',
        self::WEST => 'West',
        self::CENTER => 'Center',
    ];

    public static function getDefaultValue(): ?string
    {
        return self::CENTER; // This value will be used as default in DDL statement
    }
}
