Nant Castell Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort situated inland in the Conwy valley in north Wales. The site occupies a naturally defensible headland and is fortified by a substantial bank and ditch system that cuts across the promontory neck, a characteristic defensive arrangement of Iron Age date. The monument's physical form and positioning suggest it functioned as a territorial stronghold during the later prehistoric period, commanding views across the surrounding landscape. The site remains an important example of Iron Age settlement and defence strategy in north Wales and is protected as a scheduled ancient monument.
