Moel y Gaer, Llantysilio
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Moel y Gaer (Welsh for "bald hill of the fortress") is an Iron Age hill fort on a summit of Llantysilio Mountain, northwest of the town of Llangollen, Denbighshire, Wales.
The defensive works at Moel y Gaer enclose an area of approximately 0.95 hectares (2.3 acres)[1] and consist of a single rampart and a discontinuous ditch, with a single entrance on the eastern side.[2] Although no excavations have been conducted at the site, a 2007 survey recorded the remains of 11 roundhouse platforms within the enclosure, concentrated on the eastern side. A track crossing the site from east to west, used by pedestrians and drivers of off-road vehicles, presents a threat to the archaeological remains.[3]
The summit reaches 504 metres (1654 feet).
