Dunraven Castle Hillfort is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Glamorgan, Wales, dating to the Iron Age period. The site comprises a substantial univallate or bivallate defensive earthwork, with banks and ditches that enclose an interior plateau, representing a typical Welsh hillfort design of the later prehistoric period. The fortification would have served as a territorial stronghold and refuge settlement for the local Iron Age community, controlling the surrounding landscape. The monument remains substantially visible today as earthwork remains and forms an important archaeological record of Iron Age settlement patterns in South Wales.
