Mynydd y Gaer Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Denbighshire, Wales, commanding a prominent position on high ground in the local landscape. The site is defended by substantial earthwork defences comprising banks and ditches that enclose an interior settlement area, characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in Wales. Dating to the Iron Age period, the monument represents a significant example of the defensive architecture and territorial control exercised by prehistoric Welsh communities.
