Priory Wood Camp is a prehistoric enclosure located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw reference MM049. The site comprises an earthwork enclosure of Iron Age date, featuring a substantial bank and ditch system that defines its perimeter. The monument's physical character reflects the defensive and territorial functions typical of later prehistoric settlement sites in Wales, though the precise dating and function of the enclosure remain subjects of archaeological study. As a surviving example of Iron Age land use and settlement organisation, Priory Wood Camp contributes to understanding of prehistoric communities in the Welsh landscape during the centuries immediately preceding the Roman conquest.
