The Bulwarks Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Glamorgan, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the Cadw reference GM029. The site comprises a substantial univallate or multivallate earthwork defence system characteristic of Iron Age fortification practices in South Wales, likely dating to the later prehistoric period. Its physical remains consist of bank and ditch formations that would have enclosed a defended settlement area, reflecting the strategic importance of hillforts as both domestic and defensive centres during the Iron Age. The monument represents significant evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and territorial organisation in the Glamorgan region.
