Pen-y-Gaer Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MG085. The monument dates to the Iron Age and represents a significant example of defended settlement from this period. The site is characterised by its hillfort fortifications, which would have provided defensive advantages through elevated position and constructed earthwork defences typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in Wales. Such hillforts served as centres of tribal authority, refuge during conflict, and focal points for economic and social activity within their local territories during the pre-Roman Iron Age.
