Twyn-y-Gaer (Mynydd Illtyd)

Hillfort

Fieldnotes

Near A40, 5km west of Brecon, Powys.

OS map required.

Public rights of way lead up to it.

Worth it for the view alone. It is worth bearing in mind when visiting that the tree covered hill across directly to the east also has a hillfort on it but that there is no public access to it.

Oval in shape, single bank and entrance, 112m across (east to west). Evidence of quarrying and perhaps the remains of a medieval stone foundations.

Mountain Centre Standing Stones 1 and 2 are nearby.
