Pen-Coed Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort situated inland in Carmarthenshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference CM142. The fort occupies a naturally defensible promontory position and is characterised by its system of earthwork defences, which comprise bank and ditch arrangements typical of Iron Age fortification design. Dating to the Iron Age period, the site represents a form of settlement fortification common to prehistoric Britain, serving both defensive and administrative functions for the local community. The surviving earthworks remain largely legible in the modern landscape, providing evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and defensive strategies in South Wales.
