Pen-y-Gaer Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (MG155) under Cadw protection. The site dates to the Iron Age and is characterised by its defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that enclose the hilltop position, a typical configuration for fortified settlements of this period. The physical remains demonstrate the constructional effort invested in creating a defensive settlement, reflecting the social organisation and territorial concerns of Iron Age communities in Wales. Pen-y-Gaer Camp represents an important example of prehistoric hillforts that functioned as centres of habitation, storage, and refuge during the pre-Roman Iron Age.
