These two have been commandeered as gateposts and probably have always been just that, but there’s always the possibility that there was once more to it....
Carn Ffoi is a great spot to visit if you are in the Carn Ingli area, and has a high concentration of Psilocybin in the autumn. Perhaps ‘They Were On Hard Drugs’?
Carn Ffoi from the western end of Carningli Common. The single stone rampart is visible to the left of the outcrop.

Taken 2nd May 2004: The view from the road that winds down into Newport (Trefdraeth) from the direction of Bedd Morris.
This is a very simple hillfort -- maybe related to Carningli in some way? There is just one defensive embankment, enclosing a small settlement site. Again the rocky crag itself has been used as a part of the defences. From the NW this defended site must have looked quite intimidating. According to legend, an Irish chieftain and his band lived here during the Age of the Saints. That’s quite feasible -- and very handy for creating a spot of bother on the pilgrim route that ran along the coast from Nevern westwards towards St David’s.
Visited 2nd May 2004: Not really a visit as such. Having visted a number of Carn Ingli sites we were heading for the beach when I took this. The stone ramparts are pretty clear, even from the road. I’d definately like to take a closer look.
