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.

Roundton Hillfort is upon the hill to the left.

Corndon Hill 3 submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Dec 2004. The third cairn on top of Corndon Hill, looking to Corndon Hill 4 and the north east, Midwinter Solstice 2004.
Many of the cairns show signs of interference and digging into; about five such 'holes', three very sizeable, are within this cairn.
View to the north east.

Visited: Yes on 7th Mar 2022. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 2
Corndon Hill 4 submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Dec 2004. The most north eastern cairn on top of Corndon Hill, Midwinter Solstice 2004. Corndon Hill 3, left, and Corndon Hill 2, top right are also visible.
The cairns are substantial, and writing as one who has walked miles to see much lesser cairns, this hilltop is a worthy visit.
My friend, 'Wintertrees', helps gave a sense of scale.

Log Text: It's very close and visible from the Kerry Ridgeway single track road. If the grass verge was dry you could possibly park close to the gate of the field. But everywhere in Shropshire is permanently wet and boggy these days so it's best to park securely in a lay-by closer to Bishops Castle and enjoy the walk in along the Ridgeway.

Moel Goedog W submitted by w650marion on 12th Jul 2018. Yes, this is Moel Geodog East circle in the foreground, but Moel Geodog West circle is visible right of centre just above the large recumbent stone. What this photo actually shows is the extent of the work in Moel Geodog West field. A red digger is just visible on the track behind the piled clearance stones on the right hand side of the picture.
