Conion, Level terrain fort in Gwynedd, Wales.
Located at coordinates 52°49'23.520"N and 4°37'41.880"W, Conion features extensive earthworks positioned strategically above the mountain road in northern Wales.
This fortification represents military architecture from ancient British settlements, constructed during periods of tribal conflict to protect local inhabitants against invasions.
The fort remains demonstrate the engineering capabilities of early Welsh societies and their understanding of defensive positioning within the regional landscape.
Access to the site requires following established hiking routes through the mountain roads of Gwynedd, with reference points available through the Atlas of Hillforts.
The earthwork structure maintains its original level terrain configuration, distinguishing it from other hillforts found across the United Kingdom.
