Pen y Coed Hillfort is a prehistoric fortified settlement located at Cyfronydd in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MG233. The site consists of a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by substantial earthwork defences, typical of Iron Age hillforts constructed across Wales during the later prehistoric period.
