Gaer Fawr is a prehistoric hillfort located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw reference MM062. The site dates to the Iron Age and represents a significant example of the defensive settlement strategy characteristic of that period in Wales. The hillfort is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising banks and ditches that encircle the hilltop, typical of fortified settlements constructed to afford protection and control over surrounding territory. Such sites served not merely as military strongholds but as centres of economic, social and political authority for their communities during the Iron Age.
