It isn't far from the road but there is no footpath to get here, you might want to ask permission at Clegyn Mawr farm. Not the best preserved of forts, the entrance is still evident and some earthworks may linger in the undergrowth.
The northern extremes of the fort are undefended due to sheer cliffs dropping down to the Afon Clwyd. The forts interior is large and clear, distant views of Snowdonia's mountains can be enjoyed.
