A hill-fort found in the Carneddau range, on the eastern slopes of Tal y Fan. The name translates to "small fort", or "little fortress".
There is relatively little known about the fort itself, as not much formal archaeological research has been conducted, however, it has been determined that the site was a round hut, dating back to the Iron Age or Roman period.
