Castell Bwa-drain Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Ceredigion, Wales, positioned to command views across the surrounding landscape. The site is defended by substantial earthwork ramparts characteristic of Iron Age fortifications, reflecting the defensive requirements of its period. Dating to the Iron Age, the fort represents a significant example of the enclosed settlements that characterised this era in Wales, serving both defensive and administrative functions for the community it protected. The monument remains largely unexcavated, preserving archaeological deposits that may yield further understanding of Iron Age settlement patterns and social organisation in the region.
