Not been here yet, but it's on the rainy day list. Looks worthwhile.	Posted by GLADMAN 17th December 2012ce


Yep, definitely worth a look. The ramparts aren't the best, but the natural defences are very fine. I came face to face with a group of fallow deer on the SW slopes as well. At some point I'd like to get up onto the ridges to the east, there are various cairns up there. Our walk went downhill - literally - after here, the shit-strewn alleyways of Port Talbot being the most depressing place I've ever been to.	Posted by thesweetcheat 17th December 2012ce


There are at least 3 more enclosures-cum-hillforts swinging north-east... took the Mam C up to two of them last year, as I recall. Quite a bit going on.	Posted by GLADMAN 17th December 2012ce


Yeah, I remember your pictures from those ones, looked decent. There's more stuff heading towards Maesteg too (unless that's the same stuff).	Posted by thesweetcheat 17th December 2012ce
