Foel y Mwnt
Foel y Mwnt submitted by Antonine : Sun setting behind Foel y Mwnt, 2008 (Vote or comment on this photo)
An Iron-Age promontory fort in Ceredigion. The top of the hill is marked by two lines of defensive earthworks. The area within the headland defined by these terraces is devoid of any sign of habitations or indeed of any level ground. The summit of the hill is said to have once had a lofty stone cross, from which the church of the Holy Cross is though to have derived its dedication. A search of the area failed to reveal any evidence of a socket hole.

Foel y Mwnt submitted by Antonine : The hill is very close the beach car park, pictured here with the Church of the Holy Cross. Although the church dates from the 13th-century, the site has been in use since at least ‘The Age of the Saints’. (Vote or comment on this photo)
