Castell Prin Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Monmouthshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MM130. The site comprises a roughly circular earthwork defensive enclosure typical of Iron Age hillforts, featuring a substantial rampart and ditch system that would have enclosed a settlement area. Its precise dating and archaeological significance relate to the broader pattern of fortified settlements constructed across Wales during the Iron Age period, when such hillforts served defensive and possibly administrative functions for local communities. The monument remains an important example of prehistoric defensive architecture in the Welsh landscape, though detailed archaeological investigations specific to this individual site remain limited in the published record.
