Caer Drewen Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Meirionnydd, Wales, and is recognised as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw designation SAM ME012. The site comprises a substantial circular or oval enclosure defined by one or more defensive ramparts and ditches, characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in Wales, though the precise dating of the monument remains subject to scholarly examination. The hillfort would have served both defensive and administrative functions, controlling the surrounding landscape and possibly acting as a focal point for the local community during the Iron Age period. The monument represents an important example of the fortified settlement pattern typical of prehistoric Wales, though detailed archaeological investigation and publication of specific finds from the site remain limited in the scholarly record.
