Caerau Hillfort, Iron Age hillfort in Cardiff, Wales
The triangular fortified settlement extends across 5.1 hectares on a ridge-top plateau, protected by three large ramparts with accompanying ditches.
The site dates back to 3600 BC, with archaeological evidence revealing continuous occupation from the Neolithic period through the Iron Age.
The remains of St Mary's Church from the 13th century stand within the hillfort, featuring stone walls, a nave with south porch, and chancel.
The hillfort sits near the A4232 road, with two main entrances located on the eastern side and west of the southern corner.
Archaeological excavations uncovered flint tools, weapons, and Romano-British pottery, including a first-century Roman pouring vessel northwest of the entrance.
