Iron Age settlement at Mynydd Cefn-y-Gyngon





Hiking 7 miles to a Iron Age settlement at  Mynydd Cefn-y-Gyngon  (SN958035 ) in the searing June heat wasn't the smartest of moves on my part .
 Spread over a large area are the remains of what were once  Iron age round huts and roundhouse (  large oval structures    )   Long huts on the site are evidence the area was being occupied later on in the  dark ages  .
Taking 5 before I embarked on the return trek . Looking south east  from the top of  Mynydd Cefn-y-Gyngon  the Brecon Beacons rise up in unison dominating  the landscape . Below me on  Hirwaun common plumes of dust are being created by massive 300- tonne hydraulic excavating trucks at Tower Colliery .
