Image of Tump Wood Camp (Hillfort) by GLADMAN

A sunburst brings the light... metaphorically as well as literally, since traces of ancient man still fill this landscape to the horizon. The Tump Wood enclosure is indicated, with Allt-yr-Esgair hillfort behind to its left. The skyline is occupied by The Black Mountains, their summits bearing Bronze Age burial cairns, their valleys the Neolithic variety. The viewpoint is Carn Pica, most probable site of another Bronze Age cairn.
