Burfa Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Radnorshire, Wales, positioned on high ground commanding views across the surrounding landscape. The monument consists of a univallate defence comprising a single bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age hillfort construction in the Welsh Marches region. Archaeological evidence suggests the site was occupied during the Iron Age period, when such fortified settlements served defensive and possibly administrative functions for local communities. The earthwork remains visible today as a substantial archaeological monument, preserving evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns in the border region between England and Wales.
