Description Inside the fort are around 150 hut circles. Here is a group near the main northern entrance, showing the northern rampart wall in the distance.
I loved the atmosphere with the mist swirling about me. I was completely alone, except for the sound of the wind through the stones.

HOW DID THEY GET WATER

Border Collie asked how the occupants of Tre'r Ceiri got their water.....I wondered the same thing when exploring the site this week! No sign of a spring, even in the outer area between the double rampart walls. Obviously lots of rain, and very boggy, but I'm still curious about how they must have collected/stored enough water when operating in defensive mode...perhaps I am assuming more modern seige methods than would have been used?
