Croes Arthur Hillfort
Croes Arthur Hillfort submitted by geoffstickland : There is little to see in this large open field. There is perhaps a slight swelling in the middle of the field. Set high on a ridgeway, the site would have afforded extensive views but lacks the defensive properties of many hill forts. (Vote or comment on this photo)
