| From Corwen Leisure Centre car park at SJ 08221 44194. Took the lane up past Tan y Gaer, then a steep path up to the large cairn on the hill-fort ramparts. Then descended via a gate to a boggy col and path up to summit. On return, took grassy track around the south flank of the fort, and then back down the lane. With MP and AW. NOTE: car park gates may be locked when leisure centre closing. | Man of Kernow1 | 27/01/2024 |

| As others, parked at leisure centre & up lane & stepped path to join track - Turned right & up track alongside the hillfort's impressive stone rampart to high point - Through gate & up over sheep pasture to summit cairn which is largely grassed-over. (S) | gerrybowes | 27/03/2022 |
