Pen y Bannau Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Ceredigion, Wales, and is designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference CD109. The site dates to the Iron Age and represents the defensive settlement strategy characteristic of later prehistoric communities in Wales. The hillfort is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising banks and ditches that enclose the hilltop, typical of fortified settlements constructed during the first millennium before the common era. Such sites served as focal points for territorial control, refuge during conflict, and centres of economic and social organisation for Iron Age communities in the region.
