General
Thought it was about time someone created an article for this important archaeological site, so I have begun in earnest.Telenarn (talk) 20:28, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Part of the aim of this page is to bring all the relevant sources together to assist anyone who wants do do further research on the site. When I came to do my own research, I found the current information to be fragmentary at best and often the retelling of a retelling, with no clear sources; so I traced down everything relevant I could find to have it all in one place. Whilst the page itself is a handy overview and I think the first and most complete telling of the story available online, I recommend utilising the references to anyone serious about researching this lost hillfort. I trawled for weeks through old journals with antiquated spellings throwing off my search results, so no one else has to!Telenarn (talk) 23:51, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Finds
Added a finds section, with some new images from journals now in the public domain. I've noticed an issue when quoting journal references, being that the online page numbers don't actually match the page numbers of the journal. This being an online encyclopedia, I have used the online page numbers, rather than the originals. It worries me slightly, as I want everything to be fully sourced, and attributable, both for accuracy's sake and also to pay proper tribute to the people whose efforts hand down to us all we now know of the site.

I've read a reference to an 'ancient text' which places Llewelyn the Great at Braich-y-Dinas, possibly during his last stand. If anyone knows of any such texts, or indeed anything similar, they would make a fine addition to the article.Telenarn (talk) 21:22, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
