SumDoood visited on 17th Mar 2017 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 This location (where did that name Weston Camp come from?), is I think a settlement, not a hillfort. My 1:25000 map showed it as a Settlement. Both of these (hill)forts were perhaps "defended enclosures", but this is significantly smaller than the adjacent Llanfilo Camp.
Superb location for views of the Brecon Beacons which surely were of significance to the builders, and of other hillforts in the area.
