Wern Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Radnorshire, Wales, and forms part of the defensive landscape characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in the Welsh Marches. The site consists of a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by substantial earthwork defences, typical of hillforts constructed during the later prehistory of Britain. Its position commands views across the surrounding terrain, a characteristic feature reflecting the strategic and possibly territorial functions such monuments served. The earthworks remain substantially preserved, contributing to the archaeological evidence for Iron Age settlement and social organisation in the region.
