Pant-Glas Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort located inland in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The site is defended by substantial earthwork ramparts that exploit the natural topography of the promontory, creating a defensive enclosure typical of Iron Age settlement strategy in Wales. The fort demonstrates the characteristic design of promontory forts of the later prehistoric period, whereby natural features such as steep slopes are combined with constructed defences to create a defensible stronghold. The site remains an important example of Iron Age fortification practice in South Wales and is protected as a scheduled ancient monument.
