Hen Blas is a castle in Flintshire, Wales. Perhaps stones still stand where a lord once watched the valley. Maybe its rooms held heat, hunger and fear in equal measure. Imagine a hand on the wall, feeling the temperature leave the rock at dusk.

Hen Blas is shown as a castle on the public map of Flintshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Hen Blas is a medieval hillfort, not a traditional castle, located in Powys, Wales, and is believed to have been constructed during the Iron Age, roughly between 800 BCE and 43 CE. It is remembered for its strategic defensive position and as an example of early Welsh hillfort architecture.
