Mynydd Cilciffeth, Cwm Gwaun

In the community of Cwm Gwaun.
In the historic county of Pembrokeshire (Modern authority of Pembrokeshire, preserved county of Dyfed).

CARN record of possible ringwork, possible Iron Age Hillfort. Nothing apparent in this grid square. However earthwork marked on map at SN017341, in Kilkiffeth Wood, called Castell Caerwen or Castell Kilkiffeth, is scheduled Iron Age Hillfort. I am presuming this is a refence to this site, mislocated.

This site has been described as a;
Timber Castle.
This site is rejected as a medieval fortification or palace.


The Ordnance Survey Map Grid Reference is SN0234
