Caer Du is a prehistoric enclosure located in Radnorshire, Wales. The monument comprises an earthwork defence consisting of a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age hill fort construction, though the precise dating of the site remains uncertain without comprehensive archaeological investigation. Its location in the upland landscape of Radnorshire reflects the pattern of Iron Age settlement and territorial control in the Welsh Marches during the late prehistoric period. The site's name, meaning "black fort" in Welsh, reflects its long recognition as a significant defensive structure within the local landscape.
