Are you sure about the siting of Clawdd British at the same site as this cairn? British is probably the same as Brythonig - a site about 7km to the West.

Brythonig(c) comes from the old celtic language and simply means, more or less, British?

The OS map records the cairn Gwar y Felin but no hill fort/camp. Coflein has no record of Clawdd British ( ditch or dyke British) - but then it has no record of the cairn as Gwar y felin ( gwar= quarry felin = mill).

Forgive my musings

    thanks for pointing that out, it must have been a typo error in the original database. I changed it to match the Coflein record, but then saw you had added a new site, so have deleted the previous one which had no added details or photos.
