View over the SW entrance of Tre'r Ceiri hillfort (Town of the Giants) looking S to Mynydd Carnguwch & the coast of the Lleyn Peninsula. Begun in the late 1st millennium BC, drystone ramparts enclose some 5 acres (2ha) & around 150 huts which were still in use in the C4thAD. The SW & NW entrances were multiphase, the main (NW) being rebuilt in the C2ndAD during the Roman occupation of Britain.
