Pen y Foel Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Monmouthshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference MG010. The site dates to the Iron Age and comprises a roughly circular defensive enclosure defined by banks and ditches that exploit the natural topography of the hilltop location. The fort would have served as a settlement and refuge for a local community, with the earthwork defences providing protection during a period of increasing territorial competition and social organisation in Iron Age Britain. The surviving monuments remain substantially visible on the ground, preserving evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and defensive strategies in the Welsh landscape.
