Corn y Fan Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference Cadw SAM BR051. The site comprises a substantial defensive enclosure positioned on elevated terrain, characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in the region, though the precise dating of its construction remains subject to archaeological interpretation. The hillfort's physical character reflects the strategic defensive considerations of its period, with earthwork ramparts and ditches defining the enclosed settlement area. Such hillforts served as focal points for social organisation, territorial control, and refuge during the late prehistoric period in Wales.
