Promontory Fort SSW of Felin Cwrrws is a prehistoric defensive earthwork situated in Ceredigion, Wales, and forms part of the region's Iron Age fortified settlement pattern. The monument consists of a promontory fort, a defensive work type that exploits natural topography by cutting off a headland or elevated projection with one or more lines of ramparts and ditches, requiring defence on only the landward side. Dating to the Iron Age, the site represents the strategic use of landscape by communities in prehistoric Wales to create strongholds for habitation, storage, or refuge. The earthwork survives as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw's protection, indicating its significance to the archaeological and historical record of prehistoric Wales.
