Coed y Defaid Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (MM134) under Cadw's protection. The site comprises a defended settlement with earthwork defences characteristic of Iron Age fortification practices, though its precise chronology within the prehistoric period requires further clarification from site-specific archaeological evidence. Its physical character is defined by banks and ditches that would have enclosed and protected a settlement area, typical of hillforts that served both defensive and administrative functions in ancient Welsh communities. The monument represents an important archaeological resource for understanding settlement patterns and defensive strategies among prehistoric populations in Wales.
