Coed Pentwyn Hillfort is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Cadw SAM BR190). The site comprises a substantial univallate or multivallate earthwork, typical of Iron Age hillforts constructed across Wales and the wider British Isles during the later prehistoric period. The fortification's elevated position and defensive earthen ramparts indicate its function as a refuge settlement and territorial stronghold, characteristics consistent with hillforts of the Iron Age period. The monument remains a significant archaeological record of prehistoric settlement patterns and defensive architecture in the Brecon Beacons region.
