Cefn-Du Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Monmouthshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MG008. The site comprises a substantial earthwork defence system characteristic of Iron Age hillforts, consisting of multiple ramparts and ditches positioned to exploit the natural topography of the hilltop location. The monument dates to the Iron Age period, when such fortified settlements served as centres of habitation, storage, and defensive refuge for their surrounding communities. The earthworks remain substantially visible today and constitute an important example of the hillfort tradition that defined settlement patterns across Britain during the later prehistoric period.
