Pen Dinas Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located near Conwy in North Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference CN120. The site occupies a prominent hilltop position and consists of defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that enclose the summit area, typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in Wales. The monument likely dates to the Iron Age period, when such hillforts served as centres of defence, habitation, and territorial authority for local communities. Its strategic location within the Conwy valley demonstrates the importance of high ground for both surveillance and control of movement through this significant Welsh landscape during later prehistory.
