From the Wikipedia article
Cefn Carnedd is an Iron Age hillfort, about 1.5 miles (2 km) south-west of Caersws, in Powys, Wales. It is a scheduled monument. It is on a hill overlooking the River Severn to the east, and Afon Cerist and Afon Trannon to the north; there is a river confluence to the north-east, between the fort and Caersws.

Background
History
It is thought that the fort may have been a stronghold of the Ordovices, and it is one of the locations suggested as the site of Caratacus' last battle in AD 51, when he was defeated by the Romans.
Description
The fort is about 437 m by 84 m orientated north-east to south-west, aligned with the shape of the hill; it encloses an area of about 6 ha. There are triple banks and ditches on the north-west side, and there are entrances in the north-east and south-west. In an early phase, there was a smaller fort of 1.6 ha at the south-west end, traces of the north-east rampart of this being visible in aerial photographs. There is a straight bank and ditch across the interior, which was built at a late stage.
