COED ALLT FEDW CAMP
Primary Reference Number (PRN) : 2001 Trust : Dyfed Community : Llanilar Unitary authority : Ceredigion NGR : SN66067292 Site Type (preferred type first) : Iron Age Defended Enclosure Status : Scheduled Monument
Summary : This is a defended enclosure lying on a knoll towards the east end of a rounded ridge at 180m above sea level. Land falls away steeply from the site to the north, east and south. To the west land is fairly level. It consists of a curving length of bank, 6m wide and 2-3m high defining the northern side of the site. There is no obvious defence on the southern side. However, the whole site has been ploughed and planted with coniferous trees - these obscure detail. The enclosure would have been approximately sub-circular, 70m across internally. 150m to the east and at a lower level a 140m length of bank and ditch cut across the ridge (PRN 2002). As Hogg states, it is difficult to see how this related the enclosure. K Murphy 17 January 2006 - from various sources
Description : A small univallate hillfort. Some damage has been caused by afforestation.
