Coed Ty'n-y-Cwm Camps is a prehistoric promontory fort located inland in Ceredigion, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference CD125. The site comprises a defended promontory position whose archaeological character suggests occupation during the Iron Age, when such fortified enclosures served defensive and settlement functions across Wales. The fort is defined by substantial earthwork defences that exploit the natural topography of its promontory setting, typical of the hillfort tradition characteristic of Iron Age Wales. The site remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric settlement patterns and defensive strategies in the Ceredigion landscape.
