Myarth Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the reference BR116. The site comprises a substantial univallate or multivallate earthwork defence system typical of Iron Age hillforts in the region, positioned to command views across the surrounding landscape. Its construction and primary occupation period remain consistent with late prehistoric settlement patterns in South Wales, when such elevated fortified enclosures served defensive, administrative, or communal functions. The earthwork survives as a prominent topographical feature, though its precise dating and the full extent of archaeological remains beneath the surface require further investigation to establish its detailed chronological and functional context.
