Cwmbran Camp
Cwmbran Camp submitted by geoffstickland : A barely perceptible grassy mound. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Hillfort in Carmarthenshire

An Iron Age earthwork enclosure. Owing to modern agriculture there is little to see but a low bank and ditch roughly 100 yards across. Perhaps if visited in winter the outline would be more clearly defined but, when photographed, an abundant hay crop made interpretation almost impossible.

Coflein site no. 304516
