Dinas Powys Hillfort

The Dinas Powys hillfort is an Iron Age hillfort near Dinas Powys, Glamorgan [1]. The main fort at Dinas Powys was constructed on the northernmost point of the hill in either the third or 2nd century BCE, with two further constructs, known as the Southern Banks, being built further down on the southern end of the hill in the following 1st century BCE [1]. It appears that occupation at the site ceased during the period of Roman Britain, but was re-inhabited by the time of Sub-Roman Britain in the 5th century CE [1]. The site was subsequently excavated by a team of archaeologists led by Leslie Alcock from 1954 through to 1958 [1]. Dinas Powys hillfort is located on the eastern end of the Vale of Glamorgan [1].
