Coed Mawr Hillfort
Coed Mawr Hillfort submitted by geoffstickland : There is little to excite at this Fort. Though at a considerable altitude, it does not seem a very defensible position. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Situated by a rural lane and in open meadow, little can be discerned at ground level. Faint signs remain beyond a reduced bank partially defining a more or less circular enclosure about 150' feet across.
