Moel Hiraddug, Iron Age contour fort in Dyserth, Wales.
The hill fort of Moel Hiraddug spans 1.25 kilometers along a limestone ridge, reaching an elevation of 265 meters above the Vale of Clwyd.
The site contains archaeological evidence from the Late Bronze Age through the Iron Age period, with defensive structures and settlement platforms carved into slopes.
Metal artifacts discovered in 1872 during road construction included shield fittings, demonstrating the military capabilities of early Welsh settlements.
The northern section of the fort shows extensive damage from quarrying activities, while the eastern side maintains complex defensive banks for examination.
Four internal banks divide the fort into distinct enclosures, with multiple gateways suggesting a sophisticated system of controlled access and movement.
