How the bloody hell will I know? LOL

I looked it up on the Coflein database, where it's called "Cerrig y Ddinas Fort", so I've added that name to the site as an alternative.

All it says is:

1. Remains of a fort on a precipitous rocky peak.
2. Up to four discontinuous lines of walling, joining sections of crag, define an irregular enclosure, c.130m N-S by 70m overall, inner enclosure being c.50m N-S by 30m.

Hello Baza

Are you sure about these being the same site? Having had my head in the OS map for that area for the past week, Cerrig Y Ddinas is some considerable distance from Caer Bach, to the NE. I do not believe they are the same location :o)

Cheers

Tim
