Coed y Caerau Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference BR151. The site comprises a substantial defensive enclosure defined by multiple ramparts and ditches, characteristic of Iron Age hill fort construction in South Wales. Its elevated position provided strategic control over the surrounding landscape during the Iron Age period, when such fortified settlements served as centres of power, trade, and refuge for local communities. The monument remains an important archaeological resource for understanding the organisation and settlement patterns of prehistoric communities in the Brecon Beacons region.
