Pant Mawr Hillfort is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Ceredigion, Wales, dating to the Iron Age period. The site is defined by its defensive earthwork construction, comprising ramparts and ditches that enclose an elevated position characteristic of hillforts across Wales and the broader Celtic territories. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, Pant Mawr represents the settlement and defensive strategies employed by Iron Age communities in west Wales. The hillfort's physical remains provide evidence of the territorial organisation and social structure of prehistoric Welsh societies during the pre-Roman Iron Age.
