Mynydd Carningli, Iron Age hillfort in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
Mynydd Carningli rises 346 meters above sea level, featuring stone embankments, natural cliffs, and approximately 25 ancient hut circles at its northeast section.
The summit contains one of West Wales' largest hillforts, covering 4 hectares with defensive structures dating from the Iron Age through the Middle Ages.
Saint Brynach selected this mountain summit for prayer during the 5th century, leading to its Welsh name Carningli, which translates to Mountain of Angels.
Visitors can start their ascent from Newport's gravel parking area, following marked paths through the eastern slopes toward the mountain peak.
A mountain railway operated here until 1930, transporting quarried stone downhill, with railway sleepers and stone pillars still visible in the terrain.
