Castell S of Goginan-Fach is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Ceredigion, Wales. The monument comprises defensive earthworks typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in Wales, with a defensive circuit that would have protected a community settlement during this period. The site occupies a naturally defensible hilltop position, a characteristic common to many Welsh hillforts of the Iron Age and potentially earlier periods. Such fortified settlements served as centres of habitation, refuge, and territorial control, reflecting the social and military organisation of prehistoric Welsh communities.
