Roman Camp is a prehistoric enclosure located in Glamorgan, Wales. The site consists of a roughly circular or oval earthwork defined by banks and ditches, characteristic of Iron Age defensive settlements or ritual enclosures. Despite its name, the monument dates to the prehistoric period rather than the Roman era, likely belonging to the Iron Age when such enclosed sites served important communal functions across Wales. The enclosure represents a significant example of Iron Age settlement patterns in South Wales and contributes to understanding pre-Roman settlement distribution and land use in the region.
