Pierce Wood Camps is a prehistoric hillfort located in Monmouthshire, Wales. The site comprises an Iron Age defensive settlement characterised by multiple ramparts and ditches that enclose an elevated position, typical of the fortified settlements constructed across Wales during the first millennium BC. The earthwork defences remain substantially visible in the landscape today, reflecting the strategic importance of hillforts as centres of settlement, storage, and territorial control during the Iron Age period. As a scheduled ancient monument under the care of Cadw, Pierce Wood Camps represents an important example of prehistoric defensive architecture in the Welsh borderland region.
