Castle-Lloyd Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort situated in Carmarthenshire, Wales, occupying a naturally defensible hilltop position that was enhanced through the construction of earthwork fortifications. The monument consists of a series of banks and ditches that exploit the topography of the promontory to create an enclosure, typical of Iron Age defensive settlements in Wales dating to the later prehistoric period. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, it represents an important example of Iron Age settlement hierarchy and territorial control within the region, though its precise chronology within the Iron Age remains to be fully resolved by archaeological investigation. The site's survival as earthworks reflects the strategic value of elevated, naturally protected locations favoured by prehistoric communities for settlement and defence.
