Heading east out of Cerrigydrudion on the B5105, then immediately right/south, cross the Nant y felin, the hill fort will appear on the left crowning a slight hilltop.
A footpath passes by closely but not to it, so a slight trespass is necessary.
A well defined fort with several contending entrances, a large boulder is found in the eastern ditch, not the first time i've seen that at a hill fort either.
Though it was a bit misty on my visit, wondrous vistas of Snowdonia will appear on a clearer day.
