Pierce Wood Camps is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Monmouthshire, Wales. The site comprises two adjacent enclosures defended by substantial earthwork ramparts and ditches, representing a form of fortified settlement typical of the Iron Age period. The dual structure suggests either successive phases of construction or a complex defensive arrangement designed to accommodate and protect a substantial community. The earthworks remain substantially preserved within their woodland setting, providing evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and defensive strategies in the borderland region of south Wales.
