Y Gaer - Bridell

DTM- (Digital Terrain Model, i.e. No buildings or foliage) Just to the southwest of the village of Pen-y-bryn lies the inland promontory fort, Y Gaer. Rampart is now 1.2m high & was 1.7m high in 1974 so it’s been degraded by ploughing in the last few decades. First written record in 1925. As you can see it wasn’t listed on the old OS map. No recorded excavations or finds, hence undated.
