Y Garth Camp is a prehistoric enclosure located in Denbighshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference DE103. The site comprises an enclosed area defined by earthwork defences consisting of banks and ditches, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts and settlement enclosures common to the upland regions of North Wales. The monument's defensive works suggest use as a fortified settlement or refuge during the later prehistoric period, though precise dating and the full extent of occupation remain matters for archaeological investigation. The site's location within the landscape of Denbighshire reflects the strategic importance of elevated positions in prehistoric settlement patterns across the region.
