Hillfort in Ceredigion
Cwm Castell (Valley Castle in English) is an irregular enclosure, about 110m north-west to south-east by 54m, crowning a knoll within the cwm of Afon Feinog, between the river and a relict channel; defined by scarps except on the south, where double ramparts flank a south-east facing entrance.
The B4342 road runs past the north-west face of the enclosure where a large lay-by is situated. The site can be accessed from here if you are willing to embark on a short but steep climb, however there is technically no public access as the land is private.
