Pentre Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Monmouthshire, Wales, and is registered as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference SAM MG129. The site consists of a substantial univallate defence comprising a single rampart with an external ditch, typical of Iron Age fortifications in South Wales. Its strategic position and construction indicate it served as a defended settlement during the later prehistoric period, likely dating to the Iron Age, when such hillforts functioned as centres of habitation, refuge, and territorial control. The monument remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric settlement patterns and defensive architecture in the Welsh Marches region.
