Llanfilo Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Breconshire, Wales, forming part of the network of Iron Age defended settlements that characterize the upland regions of South Wales. The monument consists of a roughly circular enclosure defined by a single bank and ditch, positioned to command views across the surrounding landscape, a typical defensive arrangement of the Iron Age period. The site demonstrates the settlement patterns and territorial organization of Iron Age communities in the Brecon Beacons area, occupying a naturally defensible location that would have served both protective and possibly ceremonial functions.
