Ffawyddog Gaer is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference Cadw SAM BR060. The fortification comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by substantial earthwork ramparts, characteristic of Iron Age defensive settlements in Wales. Its elevated position would have provided commanding views across the surrounding landscape, offering strategic advantage for settlement and territorial control. The site represents the type of enclosed settlement typical of the later prehistoric period in South Wales, though detailed chronological evidence from excavation remains limited in the published record.
