Moel-y-Gaer Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Denbighshire, Wales, situated on elevated ground that commands views across the surrounding landscape. The site is defined by substantial defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that enclose an irregular area, typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in Wales. Dating to the Iron Age period, the fort represents an important example of the permanent or semi-permanent defended settlements that characterised hillforts across upland Wales during the later prehistory. The site's strategic position and scale of fortification suggest it served both defensive and administrative functions within its local community.
