Garn Goch is a Iron Age hillfort located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, situated on high ground that commands views across the surrounding landscape. The site comprises two separate defended enclosures constructed with substantial stone ramparts, representing a notable example of later prehistoric fortification in South Wales. The dual-camp arrangement suggests either sequential occupation or contemporary use of distinct functional zones, though the precise chronology and purpose of both enclosures remain subjects of archaeological inquiry. The fortifications demonstrate the defensive priorities and constructional capabilities of Iron Age communities in the region, with the surviving earthworks and stonework providing evidence of substantial investment in the site's construction and maintenance.
