Pen-y-Lan Camp is a prehistoric enclosure located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MM133. The site comprises an Iron Age hillfort characterised by substantial earthwork defences consisting of banks and ditches that enclose an elevated position. The monument represents the later prehistoric period of Welsh settlement and territorial organisation, when such fortified enclosures served as centres of habitation, storage, and defence for communities within the landscape. The physical remains visible today demonstrate the engineering capabilities and strategic planning undertaken by Iron Age peoples in South Wales.
