Garn Goch is a 774-foot (236 m) hill above the village of Bethlehem in the far west of the Brecon Beacons National Park. It is particularly notable for its Neolithic history, with two Iron Age forts: Y Gaer Fawr and Y Gaer Fach or the Big Fort and the Little Fort in English. These are the largest hill fort remains in South Wales.
