Caer Engan is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Conwy, North Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the reference CN148. The site dates to the Iron Age and represents a significant example of defended settlement construction characteristic of that period in Wales. The fort comprises earthwork defences including ramparts and ditches that would have enclosed a hilltop settlement, providing both practical protection and a visible demonstration of territorial control. Such hillforts served as centres of economic, social and defensive importance for Iron Age communities, though the precise chronology and phases of occupation at Caer Engan remain subjects for archaeological investigation.
