Maerdy Gaer is a prehistoric enclosure located in Ceredigion, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference CD090. The site comprises an earthwork enclosure of Iron Age date, representing a form of settlement or defensive structure characteristic of the later prehistoric period in Wales. The monument's physical remains consist of banks and ditches that define the enclosure boundary, though the precise dimensions and state of preservation require assessment through field survey records maintained by Cadw. Such enclosed settlements were typical of Iron Age communities in west Wales and may have served functions ranging from domestic occupation to stock management or ritual purposes.
