Log Text: Walked over from below Bryn Bwbach, the valley is amazing. Took a ‘short cut’ at Coetty-maur up to the main path higher up at Y Gym. This path is a bit sploshy but not boggy. The weather was dire grey cold windy wet. I would have liked to stay longer but the wind was just grim.
I counted 26 pointy stones, 2 were next to each other. Seeing it on the hillside is a welcome sight after a long trek.

Log Text: A horned cairn with a blind ‘portal’ to the east (see Belas Knap)
The remaining capstone is very large and almost circular. Far more complex than the usual simple single chamber dolmen found locally.
In a stunning location-views to Snowdonia.
It is sturdily fenced off from livestock and on the CADW visit list 10am to 4pm (so no need to ask to visit). I walked up from Conwy Falls café which does a good all day breakfast. A lovely walk on good ground, signposted (diversion).

Breiddin Hillfort submitted by TimPrevett on 24th May 2004. From the left Breiddin hill (also spellt Breidden) with New Pieces, centre and Moel y Golfa, right. Viewed from the south.
The hillfort on Breiddin hill made national news in July 2000 when the culmination of a decade of diligent deforestation showed the remains of this settlement, hidden for over 1500 years.
At well over 1000 feet above central eastern Powys (formerly Montgomeryshire), not far from the Shropshire border, the fort has a panoramic position. As one would expect, the extremel...

Log Text: a fair hike to the summit (Rodneys pillar which sadly has been condemned as too decrepid to repair) took me 3 hours and only 1 1/4 to come down. great long distance views from top. the ramparts are mostly in woodland but the main entrance can be seen as the path goes through it. the full size of them can only be appreciated by a visit-they stretch about a mile from NE to SW on the SE side.
quite an awesome build.
