Castle-Lloyd Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, situated on elevated terrain that affords commanding views of the surrounding landscape. The monument comprises a substantial defensive earthwork, with a series of banks and ditches that cut across a natural promontory to create an enclosed defensive position typical of Iron Age hill-fort construction. The site dates to the Iron Age period, when such fortified settlements served as focal points for territorial control, storage, and refuge during periods of conflict. The earthworks remain substantially preserved and form a significant archaeological record of prehistoric settlement patterns and defensive strategies in south Wales.
