Y Golfa Camp is a prehistoric enclosure located in Montgomeryshire, Wales, and is scheduled as an ancient monument under Cadw reference SAM MG132. The site consists of a roughly circular or oval earthwork defence formed by a single or double bank and ditch system, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts or enclosed settlements in the Welsh borderland region. The monument dates to the later prehistoric period, likely the Iron Age, when such enclosed settlements served defensive and administrative functions for local communities. The earthwork remains visible in the landscape today, though its precise dating and internal arrangements require further archaeological investigation to establish its full historical significance.
