Caer Bach is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Conwy, north Wales, commanding strategic views of the surrounding landscape. The site is defined by substantial defensive earthworks comprising an inner rampart and outer ditch, characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in Wales, though occupation may have extended across a longer chronological span. Located on elevated terrain, the fort would have served both defensive and administrative functions for its community, controlling access to important routes through the region. The monument remains largely unexcavated, preserving in situ archaeological evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns in North Wales.
