Heya Milda, you’ve put a new notch on the quality of your videos with this one 💯👏🏻👍🏻. First class and beautiful, and if people Google earth it they can see the full extent of this amazing homestead / fort. Thank you for sharing your breathtaking and knackering videos , you should be on the tv but it would not be the same lol. Thanks again Milda your a gem, all the best from Somerset x
@@MildaGoesWild Your too good for television Milda ,don’t know why I even thought it, there would be toooooo many health and safety certificates to sign for a start 😵💫x
@@MildaGoesWild did you know where they got the rocks/stones from to build the walls/windbreakers? did it look like they got the stone from on top of the hill, or did it look like they had to bring it up to the top?there was a lot of pieces. i wonder where it came from. cool video milda. many thanks
@@romeisfallingagain yes, plenty of pieces on the scree slopes, and the rocky outcrop seen on way up, as well as the bit where they carved out to use as part of the wall. It's not uncommon in North Wales for entire mountains to be essentially piles of rocks..!
really love your videos! i’ve never known much about wales so it’s cool to see someone who’s interested in a lot of the same things as me but in a different country so it’s all new!! thanks for making these cool videos :))
Nice to see one of my local hillforts on screen, much easier than walking up it. Purely BTW, but there's no need for a central pole to hold up the roof on a round house, once the first three poles go securely up you can take the central one out and the rest will prop themselves up. For some reason the central one gets called a "Judas post".
Isn't it magnificent. Not that there is no way to build it without the central pole but it's what archaeologists believe iron age round houses would've had, and often would locate the post holes still in place but of course one could argue that the iron age man was as clever as you suggest 😉
@@MildaGoesWild You'ld have to be pretty clever to live up there. And if you take out the central pole once the roof is up it frees up a safe space for cooking/heating and the like. Safe is good in a house made mostly of wood.
Its perfect military outpost, there's natural spring water , seeps out of hillside about half way up from the carpark . More towards the now dissused quarry buildings .. definately a stronghold for early Celts,. Then the Roman invasion until they abandoned Cymru in favour of strengthening Hadrian and Antonine walls in the North,.also within easy sightline of the hillforts at Dinas Dinlle ,and Caernarfon. Thanks for this video. Love that area, beautiful Panoramic view 360 and out over Angelsey and the Lleyn Peninsula ❤, happy trails 👣, i hope to return soon, maybe this Summer 2024
Nice video Milda. It's not a site we have ever visited, but it's now on the list.

Still haven’t been there yet but your knowlege and info about the site has inspired me to go . Thanks for sharing Milda keep up the good work 👍🏴
An excellent production full of interesting info Milda. It's a great location with so much history, thanks for all your hard work. Diolch🤙
wonderful view. i bet it gets cold up there in winter with the wind coming from the sea
Pretty much unbearable but the walls were high enough to provide some shelter i guess
