Hillfort in Ceredigion
"An oval enclosure, about 96m north-east to south-west by 55m, defined by scree-like tumbled walls, crowning a distinct hill above the Ffrwd Cynon valley, showing traces of a dividing wall, enclosing the higher, south-eastern part of the main enclosure; a less substantially defined outer circuit encloses an area about 60m across on the east & south sides, having an entrance on the west to the north of which is a possible oval banked & terraced enclosure, about 36m across, abutting the main circuit: excavation, 1984-1989, recorded details of a north-east facing entrance, subsequently blocked, & examined an area of the interior, with the remains of two circular structures, one of which was multiphase, its sequence interupted by a four-post structure: occupation may have extended into the Roman period, with subsequent re-use (or continuing use)."
