Foel Drygarn ('The hill of the three cairns') is an Iron Age hillfort, within which are three Bronze Age burial cairns [1]. The site is about 1.5 miles west of the village of Crymych in Pembrokeshire, Wales [1]. An inner defence on the summit encloses 1.2 hectares; outside this are defences built at later stages on the north and east side [1]. In the fort there are at least 227 hut platforms [1]. The remains represent a long period of occupation of the fort, and it is supposed that not all the dwellings were in use at the same time [1].
