Daren Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Ceredigion, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference CD028. The site comprises a univallate or multivallate fortified enclosure typical of Iron Age defensive settlements in Wales, occupying a naturally defensible hilltop position. Like many Welsh hillforts, Daren Camp likely served as a territorial stronghold, settlement, and refuge during the Iron Age period, though detailed excavation records for this specific site remain limited in the wider scholarly literature. The monument's earthwork remains, including surviving rampart and ditch features, continue to define the landscape and provide evidence for prehistoric land use and social organisation in the region.
