I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
The shots capture the undulating landscape of South Wales, focusing on the distinctive contours of Caerau Hillfort near Rhiwsaeson, Llantrisant. From this aerial perspective, the ancient footprint of our ancestors is laid bare, beautifully preserved amidst the rolling green pastures.
Dating back to the Iron Age (and likely with roots stretching even further into the Bronze Age), Caerau was once a bustling, fortified tribal centre. Looking closely at the images, you can clearly trace the impressive defensive earthworks. The oval plateau is encircled by a pronounced bank and ditch system—now softened by centuries of grass and bracken—which would have originally been topped with a formidable wooden palisade to protect the community and their livestock inside.
The interior of the fort is now a peaceful, open meadow, complete with a curious dark circular feature near the centre, while the outer slopes drop away dramatically to command sweeping views of the surrounding valleys. It’s a tranquil haven for sheep and a poignant reminder of Wales’ deep prehistoric past.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 30/05/2026. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
