Myarth Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference BR116. The site consists of a univallate earthwork comprising a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an approximately oval interior, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period. Its elevated position afforded commanding views over the surrounding landscape, a strategic advantage typical of such fortified settlements. The camp represents an important example of the defended settlements established across south Wales during the Iron Age, reflecting the social organisation and territorial control of late prehistoric communities in the region.
