Coed Ty'n-y-Cwm Camps is a prehistoric promontory fort located inland in Ceredigion, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the Cadw reference CD125. The site comprises defensive earthworks that exploit natural topography to create a fortified position, characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in Wales. The fort's physical remains consist of ramparts and ditches that cut across a natural promontory, creating an enclosed defensive space typical of promontory forts constructed during the later prehistoric period. Such sites served as territorial strongholds and places of refuge for communities engaged in pastoral and agricultural economies across the Welsh uplands.
