Corn y Fan Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Breconshire, Wales, that dates to the Iron Age. The site is defined by substantial defensive earthworks comprising a single rampart and ditch that enclose an irregular hilltop position, reflecting the characteristic defensive architecture of Iron Age communities in Wales. Its location within the Brecon Beacons region places it within an area of significant Iron Age settlement activity. The camp represents an important example of Iron Age fortified settlement patterns in South Wales and demonstrates the strategic use of elevated terrain for defensive purposes during this period.
