Explorer Tom Stormy, Enclosure in Bridgend is a rectangular enclosure from the Post Medieval period. It sounds like it was built for shelter during bad weather. Maybe it protected livestock from storms? That would make sense. Check out those walls.

Explorer Tom Mynydd Herbert Round Barrow in Bridgend is Bronze Age. A proper burial mound. Respect the dead, but also enjoy the view. It’s probably got the best panoramic shots of the valley. Take a selfie for me, yeah?
