Coed y Brenhin Hillfort
Coed y Brenhin Hillfort submitted by geoffstickland : The Enclosure is best viewed from a slight distance, across the steep ravine that forms its defense on the NE side. (Vote or comment on this photo)
The homestead is a small enclosure on the hillside below the much bigger defended Iron Age camp above. A roughly square enclosure about 150' at its widest point. Faint traces remain of a bank and a ditch, but the site is heavily infested with bracken and foliage. Archwilio give more detailed information.

Coflein say: "A sub-rectangular enclosure, 60m by 40m, set on a steep north facing slope, with a terraced area within."
