Caer Euni
Caer Euni submitted by TimPrevett : Caer Euni hillfort seen from the south west, with the stones of Cefn Caer Euni Cairn Circle in the foreground. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Hillfort in Gwynedd Caer Euni (Caer Eini on OS Map), is built upon an easily defended hilltop, and shows evidence of enlargment, as well as vitrified stone on the south west side. Access is permitted, and parking for one, maybe two cars is on the west side, just as the no through road kinks towards the south west.
