I'm just back from a festival very close to llancayo hill fort and found it to be a beautiful and resonant place. My one gripe is that the CADW notice is halfway up a tree and written in a tiny script and all but inaccessible.

Llancayo Camp (SO378038) is a large Iron Age hillfort, with impressive defences, especially around the SE entrance. There are good views of the site from the minor road between Llancayo and Gwehelog. Access via a gate from a track to the south-east of the site, leading to the main entrance, where there is a CADW notice. An unspoiled, peaceful location.
