Prehistoric settlement in Conwy
The settlement is, very eroded, but still enough remains to be glad one made the effort of getting up here, it's not as good as the brilliant examples of hill top settlements on the lleyn peninsula, but i'm not there, i'm here, and at that moment, here is all we need.
There are maybe ten huts on the hill top itself, and another half dozen at least strewn around the grassy fields east of the iron age village, there's even a couple of barrows. The hill top huts are very close together and right on the edge of the steep drop down to the river, their closeness reminded me of Scara Brae, this would have been one close knit community.
