Three Camps on Harding's Down is a prehistoric hillfort located in Glamorgan, Wales. The site comprises three distinct defensive enclosures situated on elevated terrain, reflecting multiple phases of Iron Age fortification and settlement activity. The earthworks are defined by substantial banks and ditches that once enclosed domestic and administrative spaces, typical of hillfort construction during the later prehistoric period. The monument remains an important archaeological record of Iron Age territorial control and social organisation in South Wales, though the specific chronology and functional development of its three component camps require further detailed investigation.
