#HillfortsWednesday #Celtic: Tre'r Ceiri was probably constructed in the late #IronAge and remained in use until the 4th century AD. The earliest defences enclosed an Early Bronze Age (2000-1100 BC) burial cairn on the summit and may have housed 100 people living in about 20 houses. A second outer wall was built during the Roman Occupation period after AD 78; most of the original roundhouses were subdivided, rectangular and smaller irregular huts were added and the fort may have housed as many as 400 inhabitants at this time.

#HillfortsWednesday #Celtic: Tre'r Ceiri is one of the most and best preserved #IronAge hillforts in Britain. The impressive dry-stone ramparts that enclose it survive to near their full height of 3.5 metres in many places. The 2.5 hectare fort contains the remains of over 150 huts.
A gold plated bronze brooch was discovered in one of the houses, probably made during the middle of the first century AD, which is now at the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff.
