Dinas Dinlle is a prehistoric promontory fort situated on the Conwy coast in North Wales. The site occupies a prominent headland position and is defended by substantial earthwork ramparts that exploit the natural topography of the promontory, with the sea providing protection on three sides. Dating evidence suggests occupation during the Iron Age, though the precise chronology of construction and use remains subject to archaeological interpretation. The fort represents an important example of prehistoric coastal defence in Wales and demonstrates the strategic significance of this headland location for controlling maritime access and local territories during the pre-Roman Iron Age period.
