What looked to me very much like a hut circle to the north of the ramparts. There’s no reference on either Coflein or GGAT though.

The fort is sufficiently prominent to rise above the temperature inversion filling the Usk valley with cloud.

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.
