Castell Nadolig ('Christmas Castle') is an Iron Age hillfort, about 2.5 miles (4 km) east of the village of Aberporth and about 1 mile (2 km) south of the village of Penbryn, in Ceredigion, Wales. It is a scheduled monument. The Penbryn Spoons, of the late Iron Age, were found here.

Background
Description
The fort, sited on a low summit, is next to the A487 road to the south, which here may be the course of an ancient ridgeway. There are two concentric banks, the outer defence measuring about 230 m west–east by 185 m north–south, enclosing 3.8 ha, and the inner defence measuring about 130 m by 78 m, enclosing 0.84 ha. The surviving ramparts are 2 – high and 7 – wide at the base, now forming parts of hedgebanks. There are crossbanks between the concentric defences, built in more recent times to create fields.
