Old Castle Camp is a medieval ringwork located in Glamorgan, Wales, and designated as a scheduled monument under Cadw reference GM154. The site comprises a substantial earthen bank and ditch forming a roughly circular enclosure, characteristic of ringwork fortifications that emerged during the Norman period in Wales. Dating to the medieval period, likely the eleventh or twelfth century, the monument represents early Norman defensive settlement in the region. The ringwork's physical form and location reflect the strategic considerations of medieval lordship and the establishment of Norman authority in south Wales during the post-conquest period.
