Not the best preserved of forts but on its hill amongst bigger hills overlooking the Afon Ystwyth, it is one of the best sited forts in this part of Wales.
Heading north west out of Pont-rhyd-y-groes , then left turn towards Brynafon, then south/left towards the farm called Pengrogwynion. The fort will be on the prominent hill on your right, your probably best calling in at the farm for permission, I didn't though.
