Pant Mawr Hillfort is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Ceredigion, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference CD170. The site dates to the Iron Age and comprises a substantial defensive structure characterised by its earthen ramparts and enclosed interior space, typical of hillforts constructed during this period in Wales. The hillfort's defensive arrangement reflects the strategic importance of controlling the surrounding landscape during the Iron Age, when such fortifications served as centres of settlement, storage, and refuge for surrounding communities. The monument remains an important archaeological site for understanding Iron Age settlement patterns and social organisation in the upland regions of mid-Wales.
