Castell Grogwynion is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Ceredigion, Wales, and represents an important example of Iron Age defensive architecture in the region. The site is characterised by substantial earthwork defences comprising banks and ditches that enclose the hilltop position, affording commanding views over the surrounding landscape. Dating to the Iron Age period, the fort would have served as a centre of settlement and defence for a local community during the pre-Roman iron-working cultures of Wales.
