Bedd-y-Cawr Hillfort

Bedd-y-Cawr Hillfort, or Bedd y Cawr Hillfort, is an Iron Age hillfort on a natural inland promontory in the community of Cefnmeiriadog in Denbighshire in North Wales [1]. The name of the hillfort translates from the Welsh as Giant's Tomb [1]. Bedd-y-Cawr Hillfort is a scheduled monument that lies approximately 3.3 kilometres west of St Asaph and 4.0 kilometres north of Henllan [1]. The hillfort is sited at the end of the Cefn Meiriadog ridge of the Rhos Hills which offers views over the River Elwy valley in an area dominated by hillforts [1]. The hillfort is roughly rectangular measuring approximately 156 metres by 74 metres with an area of 0.8 hectares and is defined by a ditch and bank to the north-west and the north-east with a simple entrance [1]. On the sides on the west and east it is protected by natural outcrops of limestone [1].
