Beacon Ring Camp, known locally as Caer Digoll, is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Monmouthshire, Wales. The site comprises a substantial earthwork defence system typical of Iron Age fortification, featuring a circular or sub-circular enclosure bounded by banks and ditches that would have served both defensive and administrative purposes. The monument dates to the Iron Age period, representing the kind of territorial stronghold that characterised settlement hierarchies across Wales during the centuries immediately preceding the Roman conquest. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw's protection, Beacon Ring Camp remains an important archaeological resource for understanding late prehistoric settlement patterns and social organisation in South Wales.
