In retrospect, an easier route into the fort is offered from the NE. Previously unsuspected fellow visitor provides scale for the earthworks.

Looking WSW, the view from the ramparts is dominated by the twin peaks of Penberry and Carn Llidi, with St David’s Head beyond.

Access to the ramparts is much hindered by waist high grass concealing a knee-deep tangle of brambles and other unpleasantness.

Approaching from the WSW, the headland is very prominent. The top of Garn Fawr, a much larger hillfort above Strumble Head, can just be seen over the top of the cliff fort.
