Penycloddiau (Welsh for "hill of the trenches") is a hill in Flintshire, North Wales, and one of five Marilyns in the range.
Offa's Dyke Path crosses the summit, and the Clwydian Way skirts the western slopes.[citation needed] Like Foel Fenlli further south, Penycloddiau has an iron-age hill fort around the summit area.[2] At 26 hectares (64 acres), it is one of the largest hill forts in Wales.[2]
