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 form of defensive settlement characteristic of the later prehistoric period in Britain. The hillfort is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising banks and ditches that enclose an elevated position, a layout typical of hillforts constructed during the later Iron Age as territorial markers and places of refuge. Such sites served important functions in Iron Age society as centres of control, storage, and defence during a period of increasing social complexity and inter-community competition in prehistoric Wales.
