Tal-y-Gareg Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Meirionnydd, Wales, occupying a commanding position on elevated terrain within the county. The monument consists of defensive earthworks characteristic of Iron Age fortifications, comprising banks and ditches that enclose the hilltop settlement. The site represents a significant example of later prehistoric settlement and territorial control in north Wales, dating to the Iron Age period when such hillforts served as centres of population, storage, and defence. The physical remains preserve evidence of the strategic importance of the location and the sophisticated approach to settlement planning undertaken by Iron Age communities in the upland regions of Wales.
