This palindrome took me forever to find, I was desperately trying to find a spot that could be easily walked to and doable even for people with wheel chairs or buggies. It is in a park in Penparcau just off a concrete path that runs form its top the the bottom.
People have lived in and around Penparcau for over two thousand years. The Iron Age hillfort is believed to have been occupied for some 300 years up to and including the 1st century BC. Pen Dinas is the largest Iron Age hillfort in Ceredigion. Estimated to have been first built around 400BC, the outline of the ancient ramparts is still evident.
A distinctive memorial to the Duke of Wellington in the shape of an upturned cannon was built on the hilltop in 1852. The hilltop comprises a twin summit system and the mounded defences divide into three systems. Archaeological excavations in the 1930s demonstrated at least four phases to the defences. Pen Dinas is now more popular as a tourist attraction for walkers and used in a more sedate manner for paragliding.
