Derwlwyn Coppice Hillfort is a prehistoric defended enclosure located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference Cadw SAM MG228. The site dates to the Iron Age period and represents the form of hillforts characteristic of that era in Wales, constructed as a defended settlement or stronghold. The monument is defined by its earthwork defences, which would have comprised banks and ditches forming an enclosed circuit around the hilltop position. Such fortifications served both practical defensive purposes and potentially signalled territorial control and social status within Iron Age communities.
