Re: Crickhowell Fort by PAB on Monday, 09 April 2007
(User Info | Send a Message)
Note for Admin: It might be confusing to have this location referred to as the Crickhowell Fort - the "real" Crickhowell Hillfort is 2km north, listed on the Portal under its Welsh name of Crug Hywel (Howell's 'crug' or mound/heap).

From my explorations this weekend, I discovered that there is somewhere of interest at the Map Ref given, described on the RCAHMW site as a Defended Enclosure, but they call their entry Llangenny Camp - link: http://www.coflein.gov.uk/pls/portal/coflein.w_details?inumlink=6047465
