Castle Ditches Camp is a Prehistoric hillfort located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference GM019. The site comprises a defended enclosure characterised by substantial earthwork defences typical of Iron Age fortifications, featuring ditches and banks that would have served both defensive and administrative functions. The monument represents evidence of settlement and territorial control during the later prehistoric period, reflecting the established pattern of hillforts across Wales that served as centres of power and refuge during the Iron Age. The physical remains visible today preserve important archaeological evidence of prehistoric settlement practices and defensive strategies employed in this region during antiquity.
