Ffridd Mathrafal is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Powys, Wales, classified under Cadw's Scheduled Ancient Monument designation MG232. The site represents Iron Age defensive settlement, characteristic of the fortified hilltop enclosures that emerged across Wales during the later prehistoric period. The hillfort is defined by its topographical position and earthwork defences, which would have provided commanding views across the surrounding landscape whilst serving to demarcate and protect a community settlement. Such hillforts functioned as centres of social, economic and defensive importance within Iron Age society, though the precise dating and phases of occupation at Ffridd Mathrafal remain subjects for archaeological investigation and scholarly interpretation.
