Castell Caer Seion
Castell Caer Seion, Iron Age hillfort on Conwy Mountain, Wales
The settlement spans 7.5 acres across Conwy Mountain, featuring defensive walls, multiple entrances, and remnants of ancient circular dwellings at 800 feet elevation.
Archaeological excavations between 1906 and 2008 revealed occupation periods from the 6th century BC through the 2nd century BC with two distinct fortified sections.
The fort contains fifty round houses in the main area and six in the inner section, showing the social organization of Iron Age communities in North Wales.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site through footpaths starting from a designated parking area at the base of Conwy Mountain.
The inner fort lacks direct ground access to the main fortification, suggesting the use of ladders or elevated walkways for movement between sections.
