Visited (from afar) 5.6.10.
This was my last site on a hot and humid day. I could see the hilltop on which the hillfort stands as I approached Llanfilo through the country lanes. I thought I would park next to the church for a closer look through the binoculars but as I entered the village it soon became apparent that you couldn't see anything because of the trees. There is no public right of way to the hillfort and I was too tired and didn't have time to walk up through the fields. (Looking at the O/S map a better approach would have been via Hillis farm where I assume permission could sought?) The church looked like it was well worth a visit but time was against me, so I headed home and looked up again at the hillfort as I headed out of the village. Perhaps a return visit one day?
