Tump Wood Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference BR036. The site represents Iron Age defensive settlement, a period during which such fortified enclosures served as territorial centres and places of refuge across Wales and the broader British Isles. The monument is characterised by earthwork defences comprising banks and ditches that define its hilltop position, typical of the fortified settlements constructed during the later prehistoric period. Its location within the Brecon Beacons landscape reflects the strategic placement of such sites, often occupying elevated terrain that afforded both defensive advantages and control over surrounding land and communication routes.
