Tre'r Ceiri (Welsh: [treːr ˈkɛiri]) is a hillfort dating back to the Iron Age. The name means 'town of the giants', from cewri, plural of cawr, 'giant'. The settlement is located 450 metres (1,480 ft) above sea level on the slopes of Yr Eifl, a mountain on the north coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd, north-western Wales. Evidence suggests the settlement was first built around 200 BC, though most of the archaeological finds date from AD 150–400, showing the site continued as a settlement during the Roman occupation.

  • Tre’r Ceyri ist ein Hillfort (von einem Ringwall umschlossene Höhensiedlung) aus der Eisenzeit in Nordwales auf der Kuppe des Berges . Es befindet sich auf der Lleyn-Halbinsel im Westen von Snowdonia, nördlich der Straße zwischen und . Es liegt in einer Höhe von 485 m und gilt als eines der besterhaltenen und eindrucksvollsten steinernen Hillforts in Britannien. Die etwa 2,5 ha große Anlage ist von einer massiven Trockenmauer umschlossen. Die ursprüngliche Höhe des Walls betrug etwa 4,0 m. Im Inneren befinden sich die Reste von mehr als 150 Hütten. Es wird angenommen, dass die frühsten Teile aus dem letzten Jahrhundert vor der römischen Invasion in Wales im Jahre 78 n. Chr. stammen. Archäologische Funde belegen, dass das Hillfort im 4. Jahrhundert aufgegeben wurde. (de)
  • Tre'r Ceiri (Welsh: [treːr ˈkɛiri]) is a hillfort dating back to the Iron Age. The name means 'town of the giants', from cewri, plural of cawr, 'giant'. The settlement is located 450 metres (1,480 ft) above sea level on the slopes of Yr Eifl, a mountain on the north coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd, north-western Wales. Evidence suggests the settlement was first built around 200 BC, though most of the archaeological finds date from AD 150–400, showing the site continued as a settlement during the Roman occupation. Tre'r Ceiri is one of the most spectacular ancient monuments in Wales. The settlement is surrounded by stone walls that are largely intact, and which reach up to 4 metres (13 ft) in some places. Within the walls are ruins of about 150 stone houses, which would have had turf roofs. During Roman times, it may have housed up to 400 people. Historian John Davies suggests that because the settlement is so far above sea level, the huts served as habitations for summer shepherds who also had winter dwellings in the lowlands. In modern times it was first brought to popular attention by Thomas Pennant in his Tours of Wales. Its location and importance have attracted visitors for years. The hillfort has recently been the site of conservation work and footpath maintenance. An extensive survey was made in 1956. (en)
