Abstract
The discussion and analysis of chevaux-de-frise in Britain have been limited both by the small number of extant examples and by the lack of detailed survey work at some of the known sites. Harbison (1971) discusses twelve sites from Britain and Ireland in some detail, and mentions another, then recently found by C. J. Houlder, that of Carn Alw. The purpose of this note is to describe the remains at this site, to indicate the potential of detailed survey of well-preserved examples, and to compare the evidence from Carn Alw with that from other sites including the nearby inland promontory fort of Castell Henllys (Mytum 1987) where excavation has recently revealed traces of another chevaux-de-frise.
