Dan-y-Lan Camp is a prehistoric enclosure located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference GM268. The site comprises an oval or roughly circular earthwork defence consisting of a substantial bank and ditch arrangement, characteristic of Iron Age hill fort construction in the Welsh landscape. Dating to the Iron Age period, the enclosure represents a significant example of defended settlement activity during the later prehistoric era, reflecting the social organisation and defensive strategies of Iron Age communities in Wales. The site's physical remains, though subject to the effects of time and land use, continue to provide archaeological evidence of Iron Age occupation and settlement patterns in the region.
