Summerhouse Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Glamorgan, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference GM032. The site comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a single rampart and ditch, typical of Iron Age defensive settlements in South Wales, though occupation may have extended into the early Roman period. The earthwork commands views over the surrounding landscape and represents the class of modest hillforts that served defensive, settlement, and possibly communal functions during the later prehistoric period. Such sites are characteristic of the political and social organisation of Iron Age communities in South Wales.
