Pen Dinas Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated near Aberystwyth in Ceredigion, Wales. The site occupies a prominent hilltop position and is defined by multiple defensive earthworks, including ramparts and ditches characteristic of Iron Age fortification design. The fort likely dates to the Iron Age period, when such hillforts served as important centres of settlement, storage, and defence across Wales and Britain. The monument represents a significant example of prehistoric defensive architecture and settlement hierarchy in the region, though the precise dating and phases of occupation remain subjects of archaeological investigation.
