View SW through the SW entrance of Tre'r Ceiri hillfort (Town of the Giants) down the Lleyn Peninsula towards Nefyn, Porth Dinllaen & the hillforts of Garn Boduan & Carn Fadryn (Garn Fadrun). Begun in the late 1st millennium BC, drystone ramparts enclose some 5 acres (2ha) & around 150 huts which were still in use in the C4thAD. The SW & NW entrances were multiphase, the main (NW) being rebuilt in the C2ndAD during the Roman occupation of Britain. This entrance was excavated & partly rebuilt during a conservation project headed by Cadw & the Gwynedd Archaeological Trust (GAT).
