Caer Du is a prehistoric enclosure situated in Radnorshire, Wales. The monument comprises an earthwork defence consisting of a single substantial bank with an external ditch, characteristic of Iron Age hillfort construction in the Welsh Marches region. Its precise chronology remains uncertain, though such univallate enclosures were commonly constructed during the Iron Age period, serving defensive or territorial purposes for local communities. The site remains relatively little-studied in the published archaeological literature, and further investigation would be required to establish its exact date and function with greater certainty.
