Located above the town of Harlech, this commanding hill is the site of a hill fort and two stone ring cairns, believed to be burial or ceremonial as human remains have been found here. Castell Odo near Aberdaron, which resembles Moel Goedog, is thought to be one of the earliest hill forts in Wales, and Moel Goedog has been dated by association to the late Bronze Age, sometime around the early 1st millennium BC. The cairns are thought to be even older. Analysis of deposits found in one of the pits here suggests that the stone rings date to around 2000 BC. Both sites are adjacent to the prehistoric Fonlief Hir trackway, indicated by a series of standing stones of which 13 remain. This route led from Moel Goedog to the coast at the Meini Hirion, Llanbedr.
