I parked in the small lay-by off the A485 about fifty yards east from the hill fort, sadly it was chucking it down so we waterproofed up and splashed back up the road. I didn't ask for permission to get in, I do, sometimes, but it was early, raining and misty so instead we gracefully leaped the barbed wire fence, well, as graceful as wellied feet can any way, it's only a short stroll from the fence, in fact the forts most extreme northern defences seem to be cut into by the road side embankment.
I wondered, then doubted whether any Dutch speaking Belgians had ever lived here, surely they would have been native Welsh iron age folk like anywhere in the country.
We started our circuit of the forts defences, noting at least two entrances east and south west. As we passed by the south western gate I wondered if on a clear day we could see Sunnyhill camp the other side of Tregaron about three miles distant.
This is the first of three hill forts that are just on the way to where we're going.
Just on the way, sadly, a longer visit with a football, kite or other child friendly activity would be better I know.
