Talgarth Camp is a hillfort located in Breconshire, Wales, dating to the Iron Age period. The site is defined by substantial defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that encircle the hilltop, characteristic of the fortified settlements constructed during the later prehistory of Wales. Its position within the Breconshire landscape reflects the strategic importance of controlling upland territories during a period of increasing social complexity and inter-group competition. The camp represents a significant example of Iron Age settlement hierarchy in South Wales and contributes to understanding the defensive and territorial organisation of prehistoric Welsh communities.
