Site Description
Dinas Bran is a natural stronghold crowning a stark and dramatic hill that dominates the Dee Valley. It has been utilised by a thirteenth century stone-built castle (NPRN 307064) which is set within a larger earthwork enclosure, likely to have been an Iron Age hillfort (NPRN 93290).
