Llwynda-Ddu Camp

Llwynda-Ddu Camp, also known as Llwynda-Ddu Hillfort, is a small Iron Age earthwork in Pentyrch, Cardiff in South Wales [1]. The site is a scheduled monument, described as a prehistoric, defensive hillfort [1]. The plan of the camp is egg-shaped and lies at the western end of a small hill at a height of approximately 120 metres [1]. The ground falls away sharply on all sides except the eastern end [1]. The entrance is at the smaller south-western end [1]. The camp probably comprised two ramparts with ditches but much of the outer ring has been destroyed [1]. The entrance is a straight causeway which interrupts the inner and outer rings [1]. The inner area measures 85 metres by 60 metres giving an area of 0.4 hectares [1].
