Danish Camp is a prehistoric enclosure situated in Glamorgan, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference GM056. The site comprises an earthwork consisting of a ditched enclosure with associated ramparts, characteristic of Iron Age defensive settlements in South Wales. Dating to the Iron Age period, the monument represents an important example of the fortified domestic and communal structures that served Welsh communities during the final prehistoric centuries before Roman occupation. The enclosure's physical remains, though now modest, reflect the strategic importance of its hillside location and demonstrate the settlement patterns and defensive architecture typical of the Iron Age in southern Britain.
