Y Garn Goch is a hill in the Brecon Beacons National Park in the east of Carmarthenshire, Wales [1]. The name means the 'red cairn' [1]. It lies near the village of Bethlehem, three miles southwest of Llangadog and four miles east of Llandeilo on the southern side of the broad Towy Valley [1]. It is also commonly known as either Garn Goch or Carn Goch [1]. The established view is that Y Garn Goch is notable for the two impressive Iron Age hillforts of Y Gaer Fawr, (English: the big fort) and Y Gaer Fach, (English: the little fort), together the largest in southern Wales [1].
