Cribyn Clotas

DTM- (Digital Terrain Model, i.e. No buildings or foliage) Ringed by trees on a hilltop east of the village of Cribyn sits the oval hillfort, Cribyn Clotas. Interior degraded by ploughing. Just to its west, beyond a small quarry lies the defended enclosure, Gaer Fâch. An old cottage sat within the interior but was abandoned before the 20th century. Site bisected north-south by a terrace boundary. In a field to the NE of Cribyn Clotas is a linear feature denoted in Dyfed HER as ‘Garn Foel’. It was discovered as a crop mark by ariel photography in 1976 but on LiDAR it looks like a trench-line. No recorded finds or excavations, hence undated*.
