Western Camp is a prehistoric enclosure located in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference BR039. The site comprises a hillfort or enclosed settlement of Iron Age date, positioned to command views across the surrounding landscape typical of defensive settlements from this period. The enclosure is defined by substantial earthwork remains, including bank and ditch systems that once formed the boundary of the settlement. Like many Welsh hillforts of the Iron Age, Western Camp would have served as a focal point for settlement, storage, and defence during the later prehistoric period in South Wales.
