Pen-Twyn
Date Added: 23rd Jan 2017
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Monmouthshire)
Visited: Visited (still working on) on 16th Aug 2015. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 3
Log Text: Half a hill fort is better than none! I intended to visit this site whilst on holiday nearby.Was out on another walk and saw the hillfort,but as i wasn't expecting to visit as soon i hadn't got my notes with me. - Fatal,as i thought that what was actualy a central bank was the South East limit of the fort.Only realised later that i'd missed the chance to see about half of the defences.
However,the half of the hillfort i did see was worth the climb up from Oldcastle.The North West rampart was under bracken but was still impressive (as was the central bank).A modern track runs right alongside the South Western rampart.The North Eastern side is defended by the natural steep slope of Hatterall Hill.

Nordy Bank submitted by TimPrevett on 5th May 2005. Towards the end of my visit here, three men arrived and spent considerable time debating and pointing upon the NW rampart; they were there so long I had to grab a photo to help put the sense of scale to the place.

Log Text: Visited as part of walk around the Clee Hills.
Amazing views - you can see why the hillfort was built here.
Shame that the rampart has been quarried into,but it was still good to visit a hillfort that's not covered by trees!

Nine Stones Close submitted by funsize on 4th Jun 2007. Seen from the south with just a hint of sunshine illuminating the frozen landscape around the stones. The guardian oak tree is the perfect companion to the last remaining stones of what was once a much larger monument.

Moel Ty Uchaf submitted by DJMace on 9th Nov 2020. Very nice example of a cairn circle in a spectacular location and well worth the hike. A straight walk up the hill along a rough track after passing through two metal gates. Continue on up and the circle is on left hand side. You won't be disappointed.

Maiden Castle (Cheshire)
Date Added: 14th Jun 2014
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Jun 2014. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 2 Access 3
Maiden Castle (Cheshire) submitted by PaulM on 13th Jan 2004. Approximately two thirds of the way along the ramparts lies this inturned entrance, designed to protect the fort’s point of greatest weakness. The entrance narrows from circa 5 metres at the outer rampart to 2.5 metres at the end of the inner rampart and was protected by a gate about two thirds of the way down, the postholes of which were discovered during excavations in 1934 and 1935.

Log Text: After a 1.5 hour drive to get here i must admit i was disapointed with this hillfort.Unless you knew it was there/what to look for it'd be very easy to just pass it by.
A good site up on the promontory for a fort but now very liitle to see and virtualy no ambience whatsoever.
One to 'tick off the list' but not one i want to return to.

Log Text: Easily accessed. About a mile North of Bronaber on the busy A470 there is a small layby on the right. Opposite is a small gated road signed Bryn-Re. Walk down here for about 5 minutes and there is a passing place on the left with a couple of gates into the fields. The stone can easily be seen ( a couple of minutes walk) from the first of these gates.
Stone is only about 1.5m high and leans to the south west.
About 2m away is a much smaller stone.....perhaps part of the site.

Log Text: Busy with walkers and dogs so hard to capture the true ambience!
Walked the inner ditch on SE and SW sides.Massive inner rampart
No ditch or rampart on other two sides due to it being a 'promontary fort' Therefore due to the terrain,no defences were needed at the NW and NE sides.
