Parc-Cynog Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort situated in Carmarthenshire, Wales, positioned to command views across inland terrain. The site is defined by defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that exploit the natural topography of the promontory, a characteristic design strategy of Iron Age fortifications in Wales. Dating evidence and structural typology place the monument within the Iron Age period, though precise dating remains subject to archaeological interpretation. The fort represents an important example of inland promontory fortification from this era, reflecting settlement patterns and defensive strategies employed by Iron Age communities in south Wales.
