Llanvithyn Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference GM293. The site dates to the Iron Age and represents a significant example of defended settlement practice characteristic of this period in Wales. The hillfort is defined by its earthwork defences, which comprise banks and ditches positioned to command views across the surrounding landscape and control access to the site. Such hillforts served both defensive and territorial functions, likely sheltering communities and their livestock whilst asserting control over local resources and communication routes during the Iron Age period.
