Pen-y-Corddyn Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Denbighshire, Wales, occupying a prominent hilltop position that commands views across the surrounding landscape. The site is defended by substantial earthwork ramparts characteristic of Iron Age fortification practice, representing an important example of defensive settlement architecture from this period. The hillfort's strategic location and defensive design suggest it served as a territorial stronghold and refuge centre for Iron Age communities in North Wales during the first millennium BCE.
