Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle in South Glamorgan
From Coflein:
"A promontory fort visited for the purposes of archival updating. The earthwork is densely overgrown with trees and undergrowth but the remains appear to be substantially as recorded in 1967 and 1969. Locally, there has been some change in the N boundary. The outer scarp which projects into an arable field to the N has probably been pared down a little."
