Bryn Alyn Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Denbighshire, Wales, situated on high ground commanding views over the surrounding landscape. The site is defended by substantial earthwork ramparts and ditches characteristic of Iron Age fortifications, though some scholars suggest possible earlier occupation during the Bronze Age. The camp occupies a strategically important position typical of hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period, when such defended settlements served functions including refuge, territorial control, and possibly seasonal occupation or gathering places. The monument is recorded in the Cadw heritage database as a scheduled ancient monument, reflecting its archaeological significance for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and defensive strategies in Wales.
