Caer Cadwgan is a prehistoric hillfort located in Ceredigion, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference CD114. The site comprises a defensive enclosure constructed with earthwork ramparts and ditches characteristic of Iron Age fortification practices, though its origins may extend into the Bronze Age. The hillfort commands a strategic position overlooking the surrounding landscape, typical of such settlements which served both defensive and administrative functions during the later prehistoric period. Limited archaeological investigation has been undertaken at the site, and detailed phasing of its construction and occupation remains incompletely established in the scholarly record.
