Castell Caerwen

DTM- (Digital Terrain Model, i.e. No buildings or foliage) Overlooking the village of Pontfaen from the west lies the (possible) small inland promontory fort, Castell Caerwen (or Castell Kilkiffeth). SW entrance lined by a few large boulders. Defended by single bank & ditch. Fenton (1994) discusses the possibility of association with the medieval figure, Dafydd Ddu who gave battle to the Normans at Morville. An adjacent farm is called Caerwen and this may have been taken from the name of the camp. No recorded excavations or finds, hence undated.
