Easily found just off the Borth to Devils Bridge to Pontrhydfendigaid trail,..erm that's a footpath I think. On the way up we came across what seemed like a race track, then a rally/sports car raced by, yes it was a race track. The fort is in a really good place, the views are quite extensive. The best view of the fort is from the north looking at the front entrance.
