Llwyndu Camp
Llwyndu Camp submitted by Bladup : Llwyndu Camp. The biggest man made bank at the eastern end, strangely having a inner ditch, this suggests the other side of the bank was once the defended fort and the fort that now exists on the side of the photo was built later. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Hillfort in Carmarthenshire (Sir Caerfyrddin)

"This is a roughly sub-rectangular 0.7ha earthwork enclosure, about 140m north-east to south-west by 50m, occupying the south-western end of an isolated ridge. It is defined by scarps above steep natural slopes on the north-west and south-east, and elsewhere by a rampart & ditch. It has a south-west facing entrance.

It is possible that the enclosure may have extended further to the north-east, enclosing the entire ridge-top."
