Llanfilo Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Breconshire, Wales, situated within the designated Scheduled Ancient Monument BR040. The site consists of a substantial earthwork enclosure defined by banks and ditches that occupy a strategic defensive position on elevated terrain. Dating to the Iron Age, the monument represents one of the region's fortified settlements, reflecting the settlement patterns and territorial control strategies employed by Iron Age communities in South Wales. The physical remains indicate a multi-phase defensive structure typical of hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period to serve both as a refuge and as a locus of control over the surrounding landscape.
