Half Moon Camp is a prehistoric enclosure located in Wales and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference GM477. The site takes its name from its distinctive crescent or half-moon shaped earthwork, a form characteristic of certain Iron Age defensive settlements in Wales. The monument comprises a curved bank and ditch arrangement typical of univallate hill fort construction, though the precise dating and function of the site remain subjects of archaeological study. As with many such enclosures, it likely served both defensive and administrative purposes within its contemporary settlement hierarchy during the later prehistoric period.
