Caerau Gaer, a hillfort commanding wonderful overview north towards the Precelli Mountains, as well as south over the Afon (River) Marlais valley.
The site is only 200 metres from Llanddewi Gaer (for which there is a separate Portal entry) and the aerial photo on the RCAHMW site for the adjacent Llanddewi Gaer shows them both to greatest advantage.
The COFLEIN entry is rather disparaging and less convinced of the iron age venerability of this part of the site - shame really for this wonderful place to be 'dammed with faint praise' when it deserves more respect!
