Mynydd Bach Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Denbighshire, Wales, situated on high ground where it commands views across the surrounding landscape. The site is defined by defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that enclose the hilltop, characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in Wales, though occupation may have extended into later periods. The fort's position and construction reflect the strategic importance of elevated locations for settlement and defence during the Iron Age, when such hillforts served as territorial markers, places of refuge, and centres of elite activity across Britain. The site remains an important example of prehistoric defensive architecture in the Welsh uplands, preserving evidence of the pattern of hillfort distribution across Denbighshire.
