Gelli-Nedd
Gelli-Nedd submitted by h_fenton : Gelli-Nedd hillfort near Ystradfellte, Powys. Viewed from the North East. Kite Aerial Photograph. 16 August 2014 (Vote or comment on this photo)
Gelli-nedd is an oval shaped univallate hillfort in Powys, measuring 72m x 60m. The fort is situated on the top of a limestone ridge. The north side is protected by a large rock cut ditch and rampart, and at the north east is an entrance gap 3m wide.

The ditch and rampart continue around the east side but are only slight here, as the main protection is afforded by the slope of the hill. Around the south side the rampart and ditch continue until they reach an extant area of limestone pavement where it is less easy to follow the course - possibly just the slight remains of a wall here. On the West there is no ditch or rampart and the site is protected by a small cliff and a rock scree slope. at the centre of the fort is a small irregular shaped mound with slight traces of a ditch around it measuring 8-10m across.

The ridge which Gelli Nedd hillfort sits on has been extensively worked for limestone although these quarries seem to have had little impact upon the hillfort itself.
