Castell Rhyd-y-Brwyn

DTM- (Digital Terrain Model, i.e. No buildings or foliage) Overlooking the village of Pen-ffordd from the west and part-hidden by trees lies the complex partial contour hillfort, Castell Rhyd-y-Brwyn. 'Evidence of remodelling'. And that's about it for information, apart from technical details about the multiple-bank & ditch action which you can look up yourself. I'm constantly surprised by the lack of (surface) finds/excavations with these Pembrokeshire sites. Considering the amazing condition of these hillforts compared to others around the counties I've looked at, it seems a shame there are not enough funds for test trenches/geophys at the very least.. Mind you, I have no idea how much it costs for a team to dig a test-trench then process the results, let alone a Geophysical survey where someone is paid to walk up & down a field with what looks like some scaffolding poles for a day or two. If I was a gazillionaire I would dedicate my retirement to funding said trenches and buy a custom Geophys floating drone rig and find the lost Ark, which is probably located in the village of Merlin's Bridge, Pembrokeshire and not in Egypt like they said in that silly film with that guy with the hat and stupid whip. ("Heresy!" You cry!) I'd love that Merlin's Bridge address and can't believe it's actually a place. No recorded excavations or finds, hence undated.
