Castell Pengegin

DTM- (Digital Terrain Model, i.e. No buildings or foliage) Overlooking the River Gwaun, east of the village of Pontfaen lies the inland promontory fort, Castell Pengegin. (Also known as: Pengegin Uchaf camp). This is regarded as a great example of a promontory fort. No recorded excavations or finds, hence undated. While I was studying the site, I noticed SW of the fort another defended enclosure. I obviously checked Dyfed HER and it wasn't listed. My findings have gone off to Dyfed HER so watch this space. Looks like a small inland promontory fort/defended enclosure to me.
