Caer Carreg y Fran is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Conwy, North Wales. The site occupies a naturally commanding hilltop position and is defined by substantial defensive earthworks comprising ramparts and ditches that enclose the summit. Dating to the Iron Age, the monument represents the kind of fortified settlement that would have served both defensive and administrative functions for the communities of later prehistoric Wales. The hillfort's physical character and strategic location reflect the importance of elevated, defensible positions in the territorial organisation of Iron Age societies in the region.
