Dinas Mawr, Pwllderi, Pen-caer
Promontory fort, Two lines of ramparts and ditches, the promontory is quite small and very craggy the only potential space for settlement would be immediatly inside the fortifications, there is at least one hut circle, possibly more.
RCAHMW suggest this may be ritual or ceremonial site comparable with the site of 'La Pinnacle' on Jersey. See this link
