Mynydd y Castell Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Glamorgan, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference GM162. The site dates to the Iron Age and represents a form of defensive settlement typical of the later prehistoric period in Britain. The hillfort is situated on high ground, commanding views of the surrounding landscape, a characteristic feature of such fortifications which served both practical defensive purposes and as markers of territorial control. The earthworks consist of banks and ditches forming the characteristic defensive architecture of Iron Age hillforts, though the exact dimensions and state of preservation reflect the site's long history since its abandonment in antiquity.
