Gelli-nedd Hillfort is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Breconshire, Wales, occupying a commanding position within the local landscape. The site is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising a single or possibly multiple ramparts with an associated ditch system, characteristics typical of Iron Age hillforts in South Wales. The defensive works enclose an interior space suited to settlement occupation, though the specific chronology and duration of use remain subjects of archaeological study. As a scheduled ancient monument under the care of Cadw, Gelli-nedd represents an important example of Iron Age hillfort construction in the Brecon Beacons region.
