3. Earthworks identified on the ridge of Allt Du above Plas y Gaer appear to be an unusual form of Iron Age defensive work straddling the ridge which ultimately gives access to the summit of Pen y Fan above. It may be that these banks protected Plas y Gaer from unwelcome visitors from the south-west, or perhaps performed a ceremonial function on journeys between the lowland defended enclosure and the mountain summit. See NPRN 421809.
