View WSW up through the entrance into Caer y Twr Iron Age hillfort, Holyhead Mountain, Isle of Anglesey, Wales, UK. Drystone walls on the N & E sides of a rocky summit defend an area of some 7 hectares (17.3 acres) with an entrance at the NE corner through a natural gulley flanked by the incurving ends of the ramparts. The single drystone rampart survives to a height of 3m in places with an outer & inner face of massive masonry revetting a rubble core. Where best preserved the wall is 4m wide & topped by a parapet walk. The rocky summit is marked by an Ordnance Survey trigulation point & the foundations of a Roman signal tower used in conjunction with their naval base at Caer Gybi, Holyhead. A short stretch of the hillfort's N wall has been deliberately thrown down, perhaps as a Roman military exercise.
