Pen Dinas Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated on a prominent hill overlooking the Teifi Valley near Cardigan in Ceredigion, Wales. The site is defended by a series of concentric earthwork ramparts and ditches that encircle the summit, a characteristic feature of Iron Age hillforts in Wales, and it is likely to date from the Iron Age period. The fortified position commands extensive views across the surrounding landscape, making it strategically significant for controlling movement through the valley below. The earthworks remain substantially visible today, preserving evidence of the defensive architecture and settlement planning of prehistoric Welsh communities.
