Moel Hiraddug is a prehistoric hillfort located in Flintshire, north-east Wales, situated on high ground commanding views across the surrounding landscape. The fort dates to the Iron Age and comprises a substantial univallate or multivallate defensive circuit of banks and ditches enclosing the hilltop summit. The site represents an important example of Iron Age settlement and territorial control in the region, typical of the defended hilltop enclosures that characterise prehistoric defence strategies in Wales during the pre-Roman period. Its prominent position and substantial earthwork construction indicate its significance as a defended settlement and gathering place for the local Iron Age community.
