Moel Arthur was built around 2,500 years ago. Although it is a small hillfort, it boasts some of the largest banks and ditches (ramparts) of all the hillforts in the area. Activity on Moel Arthur wasn't just limited to the Iron Age, there is a possible Bronze Age burial mound in the centre of the hillfort and evidence of quarrying on the southern edge of the hill.
Legend has it that the hill was exploited during the 'Cilcain Gold Rush', by ever-optimistic gold diggers.
