It's a fine hillfort. The chevaux de frise is ace. Can't think of another fort with one off the top of my head, surely there must be a few? Don't remember coming across one though.
Pretty sure there are a couple near Kilmartin as well as the two at Cademuir.
Pretty rare... although there is Pen y Gaer in the northern Carneddau
The first photo here: themodernantiquarian.com/site/2932/dun_aonghasa.html shows a spectacular example.
Is Pen y Gaer on TMA Gladman?
Wow that's excellent ryaner, I'd love to visit that one.

The Welsh were very pragmatic when naming sites....
Thanks for the link Gladman :-)
Cheers Mr G and Mr R :-) Great links!
Knew there was another.... this was on the list for last year but didn't make it to South Wales after Feb for various reasons. Maybe this, who knows?
