Dinas Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort situated on the coast of Conwy in North Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The site occupies a naturally defended headland position and is defended by substantial earthwork ramparts that cut across the promontory, a characteristic design of Iron Age coastal fortifications in Wales. Archaeological evidence and structural features suggest occupation and use during the Iron Age period, when such fortified settlements served defensive, administrative, or trading functions. The fort's coastal location and promontory setting would have provided strategic advantages for controlling access to maritime routes and the surrounding territory.
