Hi Eds...

Visited this site Christmas Eve and have two points to make for wondrous TMA members.

1) I note the site is currently 'disputed'. However, it's listed upon Coflein as a 'defended enclosure'... and in my opinion is clearly of prehistoric provenance.
2) ACCESS - Sadly, I was confronted by one of the landowners on site... and have only been subjected to such a hostile tirade perhaps four or five times in my 40-odd year 'career'... threats of dobermans running wild, mad, kicking ponies, lectures re how ignorant, rude I am etc, etc. Needless to say, nearly 2,000 other farmers across the UK and Ireland have not voiced such an opinion of me, so I beg to differ. You do the maths....

The point, I think, is Pen-y-Castell is such an excellent site it deserves to be seen. We therefore had a discussion - the result of which is to make clear that in order to safeguard future access, prospective visitors MUST ENQUIRE AT PEN-Y-CASTELL FARM.
