Castle Ditches is a prehistoric hillfort located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference GM071. The site comprises a defended settlement characterised by multiple banks and ditches that follow the contours of the terrain, typical of Iron Age fortification practices in Wales. The monument dates to the Iron Age period, representing an important example of the defended settlements that were established across Wales during this era. Such hillforts served as focal points for community organisation, storage, and defence, and their physical remains provide valuable evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and social structures in the Welsh landscape.
