Pen-y-Gaer (Caerhun)
Hillfort

Lady Guest suggests in her notes to the Mabinogion story 'Math the son of Mathonwy' (online at the Sacred Texts Archive,

sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/mab/mab27.htm

that Pen-y-Gaer is the location of Caer Dathyl, where Math is supposed to have held his court. The story does include lots of geographical spots / placenames, so this could be more than just a wild guess.
