Derwlwyn Coppice Hillfort is a prehistoric defended settlement located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the Cadw reference MG228. The site dates to the Iron Age and represents the form of hilltop fortification characteristic of that period in Wales and the broader British Isles. The hillfort's defensive character is evidenced by earthwork remains consisting of banks and ditches that would have enclosed and protected a settlement on elevated ground. Such sites served both practical defensive purposes and likely functioned as centres of social, economic, and political significance within Iron Age communities.
