Tal-y-Gareg Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Meirionnydd, Gwynedd, Wales. The site is situated on elevated terrain and represents the type of fortified settlement that was constructed during the Iron Age, when such defensive positions became characteristic features of the Welsh landscape. The camp's physical remains consist of earthwork defences typical of hillforts of its period, including banks and ditches that would have enclosed and protected a settlement area. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw's protection, Tal-y-Gareg Camp contributes to understanding the pattern of Iron Age settlement and territorial organisation in medieval and prehistoric Wales.
