Carn Fadryn; Carn Fadrun — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Carn Fadryn is a five-hectare Iron Age hillfort and medieval castle on the Llŷn Peninsula, Gwynedd, where ancient defences and a later stone castle mark continuing claims to high ground. The first enclosure dates to about 300 BC, the second to about 100 BC, and the summit castle was recorded in 1188 as newly built for the sons of Owain. After Prince Owain Gwynedd died and his land was divided, that castle became a visible instrument of Welsh power. On a clear day the view reaches Anglesey, Snowdonia, Cardigan Bay and even the Wicklow Mountains, so the mountain still does what fortifications do: it makes distance visible and claimable.
