Castell Cawr is a hillfort located in Denbighshire, Wales, situated in a landscape of considerable archaeological significance. The site exhibits defensive earthworks characteristic of Iron Age hillfort construction, with substantial banks and ditches defining its interior enclosure. Evidence of Roman period activity has been identified within the hillfort's bounds, indicating continued occupation or use during the Romano-British period, a pattern common in many Welsh hillforts where Iron Age fortifications remained in use under Roman administration. The site's designation as a scheduled monument (SAM DE114) reflects its importance for understanding the transition between Iron Age and Romano-British settlement patterns in North Wales.
