Moel Arthur Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Flintshire, Wales, occupying a prominent hilltop position that commands views across the surrounding landscape. The site is defended by a series of ramparts and ditches that encircle the summit, a characteristic defensive arrangement typical of Iron Age hillforts in Wales and the borders. Dating to the Iron Age period, Moel Arthur represents an important example of prehistoric settlement and territorial control in north Wales. The fort's strategic location and substantial earthwork defences indicate its significance as a centre of power and refuge during the later prehistoric period.
