Camp 350m NW of Varchoel Hall is a prehistoric enclosure revealed through aerial photography in Wales. The site, recorded as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MG178, represents evidence of prehistoric settlement or defensive activity in the landscape. As with many enclosures identified primarily through crop marks and soil discolouration from the air, its precise chronological attribution and functional interpretation remain dependent on archaeological investigation, though such monuments typically date to the Bronze Age or Iron Age periods. The site's discovery through aerial reconnaissance demonstrates the value of this technique in identifying archaeological features not readily apparent at ground level.
