An Iron Age Hill Fort set high on the spine of the conspicuous Sugar Loaf Mountain right on the border of Powys and Carmarthenshire. The line of the ridge is roughly
NE to SW. The original shape of the fort is obscured by the passage of time and the abundant bracken. The defensive value of the Fort is enhanced by steep banks on either side and a steep access track on the East end.
