Dinas Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Monmouthshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM MG020). The site comprises a substantial univallate or multivallate enclosure positioned on elevated terrain, characteristic of Iron Age defensive settlements in South Wales. The earthwork defences consist of a ditch and rampart system that would have enclosed a settlement area, typical of the regional hillforts constructed during the latter Iron Age period. The monument represents an important example of prehistoric fortified settlement in the Welsh borderlands, reflecting the social organisation and defensive strategies of Iron Age communities in the region.
