Review of Contents
Mae bryn Pendinas yn amlwg iawn ar arfordir Ceredigion, ac ar ei ddau gopa mae un o'r bryngeyrydd mwyaf o'r Oes Haearn yng Nghymru gyfan. Fe'i codwyd dros ddwy fil i flynyddoedd yn ôl i amddiffyn a rheoli'r dirwedd gynhanesyddol sy'n amgylchynu Aberystwyth heddiw. Mae'r llyfr hwn yn adrodd hanes y fryngaer ac yn disgrifio'i lle yng nghynhanes Cymru drwy gyfrwng ffotograffau, mapiau a chynlluniau o archifau cyhoeddus Cofnod Henebion Cenedlaethol Cymru, Aberystwyth.

The hill of Pen Dinas is a well-known landmark of the Ceredigion coast. Its twin summits are crowned by one of the largest Iron Age hill-forts in Wales, built over two thousand years ago to protect and control the prehistoric landscape surrounding present-day Aberystwyth. This book tells the story of the hill-fort and its place in the prehistory of Wales through photographs, maps and plans from the public archives of the National Monuments Record of Wales.
