Gelli-nedd Hillfort is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Breconshire, Wales, dating to the Iron Age period. The site is defined by substantial defensive earthworks comprising an enclosing bank and ditch system, characteristic of hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period in Wales. Its elevated position would have provided both defensive advantage and control over the surrounding landscape. The hillfort forms part of the broader pattern of Iron Age settlement and territorial organisation documented across the Brecon Beacons region.
