Caer Pencarreg is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Carmarthenshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference CM173. The site dates to the Iron Age and represents the defensive settlement tradition characteristic of that period in South Wales. The hillfort is defined by its enclosing ramparts and ditches, which follow the contours of its elevated position to create a fortified enclosure. Such hillforts served as centres of territorial control, refuge, and possibly elite residence during the Iron Age, though the specific chronology and duration of occupation at Caer Pencarreg remain subjects of archaeological study.
