Pen-Twyn Earthwork is a prehistoric hillfort located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MM064. The site comprises defensive earthwork remains dating to the Iron Age, when such fortified hilltop settlements served as centres of control, refuge, and communal gathering for Iron Age populations. The monument's physical character is defined by its defensive ditch and rampart systems, which would have enclosed an elevated position to provide strategic advantage and protection. Such hillforts represent a significant development in prehistoric settlement patterns and territorial organisation across Wales during the later prehistoric period.
