Overview

History & significance

Clawdd Wood Camp is a prehistoric enclosed settlement located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference Cadw SAM MG099. The site comprises an earthwork enclosure typical of Iron Age defensive or residential settlements, featuring a ditch and bank system that would have enclosed a settlement area. The monument reflects the pattern of hillforts and enclosed homesteads characteristic of Iron Age Wales, representing the settlement practices and social organisation of late prehistoric communities in the region. Such enclosures served multiple functions including habitation, stock management, and protection, and their distribution across the Welsh landscape provides evidence for the territorial occupation and land-use patterns of Iron Age populations.
