Llantrithyd Camp is a prehistoric enclosure situated in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. The monument consists of a multivallate defensive structure, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts and camps of the region, comprising multiple banks and ditches arranged in a concentric or segmented pattern. Its precise dating within the prehistoric period remains subject to archaeological interpretation, though the constructional style is consistent with later prehistoric occupation and fortification practices in South Wales. The site represents an important example of the settlement hierarchy and territorial organisation of prehistoric communities in the Vale of Glamorgan.
