Clegyr Boia, Prehistoric archaeological site near St Davids, Wales.
The site features a twin-peaked rocky outcrop rising 65 feet above the surrounding landscape, containing remnants of ancient settlements and defensive structures.
Archaeological excavations in 1902 and 1943 revealed evidence of Neolithic settlements dating back 5500 years, including rectangular and circular dwelling structures.
The name derives from a 6th-century Irish chieftain named Boia, who established a stronghold at this location before encountering Saint David.
Located 1.6 kilometers west of St Davids, the site includes walking paths through farmland leading to the rocky outcrops and ancient fortifications.
A small pool called Ffynnon Lygaid, measuring 30 centimeters deep, sits near the southern base of the outcrop and holds local significance.
