Pen Dinas (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

Pen Dinas è una collina di 170 m s.l.m. ad Aberystwyth (Galles). L'altura fu usata come forte militare sia dall'Età del Ferro, dove coloni costruirono una grande fortezza-vedetta. Tuttavia, le difese in legno si dimostrarono troppo vulnerabili di fronte alle nuove tecniche militari. Per questa ragione una nuova fortezza fu costruita nel 1277: il castello di Aberystwyth.

Property Value
dbo:abstract Pen Dinas is the name of a large hill within the boundary of the village of Penparcau, on the coast of Ceredigion, Wales, (just south of Aberystwyth) upon which an extensive Iron Age, Celtic hillfort of international significance is situated. The site can easily be reached on foot from Aberystwyth town center and is accessible via a series of well marked trails. Boasting a commanding position at the confluence of the River Ystwyth and Afon Rheidol, it has been described as "the pre-eminent hillfort on the Cardigan Bay coast". The name is more correctly 'Dinas Maelor', this could be translated into English as 'Maelor's Fort' or 'Maelor's City'. Tradition refers to it as being the fort of the giant Maelor Gawr. Pen Dinas strictly speaking only refers to the highest point, 'Pen y Dinas' or 'Head of the Citadel', (upon which the Wellington Monument now stands). The southern summit is also where, in the Bronze Age, a burial mound was erected.
