Daren Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Ceredigion, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference SAM CD028. The site dates to the Iron Age and comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a substantial defensive earthwork, typical of the hillforts constructed across Wales during this period. The fort's elevated position would have provided strategic control over the surrounding landscape and served both defensive and administrative functions for the communities who occupied it. Such fortified settlements represent significant evidence of social organisation, territoriality, and settlement patterns in Iron Age Wales.
