Camp 370m NE of Stoneyford is a prehistoric enclosure situated in Wales, protected by Cadw under reference PE104. The monument occupies land underlain by Llandovery Rocks, a geologically undifferentiated formation of mudstone, siltstone and sandstone deposited during the Llandovery period, which has weathered to create the local terrain.
Prehistoric enclosures of this type typically date to the Bronze Age or Iron Age and served multiple functions within early settlement patterns, including stock management, defence and ceremonial purposes. The surviving earthwork remains indicate the site's former significance within the prehistoric landscape. The geological character of the surrounding bedrock would have influenced both the choice of location and the availability of materials for construction.
The enclosure's preservation as a scheduled monument recognises its archaeological importance for understanding prehistoric settlement and land use in Wales. The site contributes to the broader pattern of enclosed settlements documented across the region during the prehistoric period.
