Summerhouse Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Glamorgan, Wales, and is protected as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw designation GM032. The site comprises a univallate earthwork defence consisting of a single substantial bank and ditch enclosing an irregular hilltop enclosure. Dating to the Iron Age, the monument represents a significant example of defended settlement from this period in South Wales, though limited excavation has been undertaken to establish a precise chronology. The earthwork remains substantially visible in the landscape and serves as evidence of the strategic hilltop occupation and territorial control practices characteristic of Iron Age communities in the region.
