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 .
