Hillfort in Denbighshire (Sir Ddinbych).
There's a quite steep side, and a gentle sloping side, like a twerp I went up the long steep way. The defences on the western side are the best preserved, with no really obvious entrances, but the views are terrific.
Situated amongst a maze of small lanes halfway between Snowdonia and the Clwydian range .
