Overview

History & significance

Llethrau Camp is a prehistoric enclosure located in Radnorshire, Wales, and is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw reference SAM RD107. The site represents an Iron Age or possibly earlier defensive settlement, consisting of earthwork defences characteristic of hillforts and enclosed settlements common to the Welsh borderlands during the late prehistoric period. The monument comprises banks and ditches that define the enclosure, although the precise extent and condition of these features reflect both their original construction and subsequent erosion over two millennia. Such enclosed settlements served multiple functions within their communities, likely combining defensive capability with domestic and economic activity during the Iron Age occupation of the region.
