Twyn-y-Gaer Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MM148. The site comprises an Iron Age defensive earthwork characterised by substantial ramparts and ditches that exploit the natural topography of its hilltop location. The monument represents the settlement and territorial control patterns typical of Iron Age communities in Wales, demonstrating the constructional sophistication and strategic thinking applied to defensive positions during the late prehistoric period. Such hillforts served multiple functions beyond defence, acting as centres of administration, exchange, and communal activity for their surrounding populations.
