From the link that includes the Google Earth picture:

Pictured above, the clear outlines of the ancient "Hidden City" of Caer Caradoc, just north of Brynna, Glamorgan. A massive discovery using the lastest imaging via Google Earth. The Caer, or Fortress, is 2,000 year old.

I have actually been to that location, it is just a nice walk from Llanharan, and have seen the ruins of St Peter-super-Montem church. Vandals had exhumed graves that were under the stone floor of the building and there were bones strewn around. I hope that this amazing find will allow that relic to be properly preserved.

Dai must be thrilled. This was "his mountain" when he was a kid.
