A bruised and battered hill fort north west of big mountain Cader Idris.
The best bits of tumbled walls are on the west and south,sheer cliffs defend the north and the entrance, or possible entrance is to the south west. Neighbouring hill fort Pared-y-Cefn-Hir is highly visible to the ESE. But the view to Cader Idris mist capped or not holds ones gaze considerably.
