Ffridd Faldwyn, Montgomery, Iron Age hillfort in Montgomery, Wales
The fortified settlement extends across 300 meters by 200 meters on a hill west of Montgomery, overlooking the River Severn valley.
Archaeological excavations between 1937 and 1939 revealed multiple construction phases, including an initial enclosure with timber palisades and a south gate.
The strategic position of this settlement indicates its role as a regional center for the Ordovices tribe during the Iron Age period.
Visitors can access the archaeological site through a footpath that connects from the nearby road through woodland to the main road below.
The defensive structures include four substantial ditches with remaining banks measuring between 3 and 8 meters in height at various points.
