Nant Barre Caerau is a prehistoric hillfort located in Ceredigion, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the Cadw reference CD054. The site occupies a defensible hilltop position characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in Wales, though archaeological evidence for its precise dating and construction phases remains limited in the published record. The monument's defensive character is expressed through its topographic situation rather than documented structural features of exceptional preservation. As a hillfort, it represents the broader pattern of fortified occupation sites that emerged during the later prehistoric period across the Welsh uplands and borderlands.
