Earthwork on Graig Fawr is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Wales and designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw register (SAM GM386). The site comprises earthwork defences characteristic of Iron Age hillforts, featuring substantial banks and ditches that would have served a defensive function for the settlement occupying the elevated position. The monument's physical remains provide evidence of prehistoric occupation and the strategic importance placed upon controlling the surrounding landscape during the Iron Age period. Such hillforts typically functioned as centres of settlement, storage, and territorial control, though the specific chronology and phases of occupation at Graig Fawr would require consultation of specialist archaeological literature for precise dating within the Iron Age sequence.
