Twyn-y-Gaer Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Cadw SAM MM148). The site comprises an Iron Age or Late Bronze Age defensive enclosure characterised by substantial earthwork defences that would have served to protect settlement and resources during the later prehistoric period. The camp's physical remains demonstrate the engineering capabilities of its builders, with banks and ditches forming the primary structural elements typical of Welsh hillforts of this era. Such sites represent important centres of habitation and control during the Iron Age, reflecting patterns of settlement hierarchy and territorial organisation in prehistoric Wales.
