Western Camp is a prehistoric enclosure located in Breconshire, Wales. The site comprises an area enclosed by substantial earthwork defences, characteristic of Iron Age hillfort construction, though the precise dating and duration of occupation remain subjects of archaeological inquiry. The monument is situated to take advantage of natural topography, a common feature of defensive settlements from this period. Western Camp forms part of the broader landscape of Iron Age settlement in the Brecon Beacons region and contributes to understanding of prehistoric territorial organization and settlement patterns in mid-Wales.
