Bryn Euryn. Mochdre

This Iron Age hillfort originally occupied two summits and the hollow of an impressive and naturally defended hilltop. The northern summit, which is higher, forms the site's main stronghold.

There are slight traces of ramparts (defensive walls) to be seen on the site, especially on the east side. Possible building outlines are marked by stone within the enclosure, including a scrub-filled oval outline. Beneath the scrub there is a hut circle, but it is hidden from view.
