Caer Gwanaf is a prehistoric enclosure located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference Cadw SAM GM070. The site consists of an enclosed settlement with defensive earthworks characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in Wales, though the monument may have origins in earlier prehistoric periods. Its physical remains comprise banks and ditches forming an irregular enclosure, typical of the hillforts and fortified settlements that proliferated across Wales during the late prehistoric period. The site contributes important evidence to understanding settlement hierarchy, defence strategies, and land use in Iron Age Wales.
