Caer Oleu Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Conwy, North Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference CN041. The site comprises an Iron Age defensive settlement positioned to command views across the surrounding landscape, reflecting the strategic importance of hillforts during the later prehistoric period in Wales. The monument consists of earthwork defences characteristic of Iron Age fortifications, though specific details of its structural composition and excavation history remain limited in the broader archaeological record. Like many Welsh hillforts of this period, Caer Oleu represents evidence of territorial organisation and defended settlement patterns during the Iron Age, contributing to understanding of prehistoric settlement hierarchy and land use in North Wales.
