Roman Camp is a prehistoric enclosure located in Glamorgan, Wales, and is recorded as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference GM058. The site comprises a roughly circular or polygonal earthwork defined by a substantial bank and ditch, typical of Iron Age defensive settlements or ritual enclosures of the later prehistoric period. Despite its modern designation as "Roman Camp", archaeological evidence and morphological analysis indicate the monument dates to the Iron Age rather than the Roman period, a common naming convention reflecting later misidentification. The enclosure represents an important record of prehistoric settlement patterns and land use in South Wales, contributing to understanding of Iron Age communities in this region.
