Castell y Blaidd is a prehistoric enclosure located in Radnorshire, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under reference Cadw SAM RD102. The monument consists of a univallate hillfort or defended enclosure, characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in the Welsh borderlands, though its precise dating within the prehistoric period remains subject to archaeological interpretation. The site preserves earthwork defences comprising a single bank and ditch, the physical remains of which continue to define the enclosed area. As with many hillforts in this region, Castell y Blaidd represents evidence of prehistoric land use and territorial organisation, though detailed chronology and functional interpretation would require archaeological investigation beyond visible surface remains.
