Wenallt Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located at Rhiwbina in the parish of Llantrisant, Glamorgan. The monument is defined by substantial earthwork defences consisting of a single rampart with external ditch, which enclose an irregular polygonal area on the summit and slopes of the hill. Dating to the Iron Age, the site represents a characteristic example of the defended settlements that were established across South Wales during this period. The hillfort commands views across the surrounding landscape and would have served both defensive and administrative functions within the Iron Age settlement hierarchy of the region.
