A lovely little Hill fort on the summit of Ffridd Fechan. The fort is situated at about 9m above the passing footpath to the south, easily missed it you're not aware. A modern boundary wall partially separates the northern end.
The fort is oval: 60m N - S & 34m E - W and at a height of 2m in places on the interior. Some of stones have been robbed to erect sheep folds.
Commanding views of Cardigan Bay.
