Great Cloddiau Camp is a prehistoric hillfold enclosure located in Monmouthshire, Wales. The monument comprises a substantial earthwork comprising multiple ramparts and ditches that define a roughly oval or subcircular defensive perimeter. Dating to the Iron Age, the site represents a significant example of the fortified settlements that characterised upland communities during the later prehistoric period in South Wales. The complexity of its defensive architecture suggests a position of some importance within the local settlement hierarchy of its era.
