Caer Din Ring
Caer Din Ring near Clun sits on the summit of a hill that has gentle slopes falling to the north and east with steeper slopes to the south and west. The ring is roughly square in plan and consists of a single earthen bank and ditch. It has been badly damaged by ploughing over the years but remains of the bank show it was once a substantial 5 metres in width. Without a detailed excavation it is difficult to say exactly when Caer Din Ring was built or what it might have been used for. However, it may date from as early as the Neolithic period (4000 B.C. - 2300 B.C) and may perhaps have been used in farming as a livestock pen. (Copyright Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust.
