Dinas Cerdin is an archaeological site located in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, Wales. It is one of the many hillforts in Wales known as 'dinas.' The name 'Cerdin' comes from the river and the slope it flows on. Dinas Cerdin is classified and registered by Cadw as SAM: CD016. The area covered by Dinas Cerdin is approximately 2.5 hectares. The source does not provide information about the construction of the fort, so it is not known if dry-stone walls and logical defensive positions were used in its construction. Dinas Cerdin is one of the more notable hillforts in Wales, and is the oldest and westernmost hillfort in Wales. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of the fort and imagine what life was like for the people who once called it home.
