NAR SN14NE2

A promontory enclosure set over the Teifi estuary that has been identified with the castle of Aberteifi, or Din Geraint, of 1093: a raised, cliff-girt promontory summit area, some 60m north-south by 24m, tapering to the north, has been scarped & ditched on the east to form a raised enclosure, or platform, with a possible causewayed entrance close to the southern end of the ditch; possible outworks have been reported, although these may rather be natural features.
