Editing Vortigern (section)

==Local legends==
A valley on the north coast of the [[Llŷn Peninsula]], known as [[Nant Gwrtheyrn]] or "Vortigern's Gorge", is named after Vortigern, and until modern times had a small barrow known locally as "Vortigern's Grave", along with a ruin known as "Vortigern's Fort". However, this conflicts with doubtful reports that he died in his castle on the [[River Teifi]] in [[Dyfed]] (''"Nennius"'') or his tower at [[The Doward]] in [[Herefordshire]] (''Geoffrey of Monmouth'').

Other fortifications associated with Vortigern are at [[Cantref Arfon|Arfon]] in [[Gwynedd]], [[Bradford on Avon]] in [[Wiltshire]], [[Carn Fadryn]] in Gwynedd, [[Clwyd ]]in Powys, [[Llandysul]] in Dyfed, [[Old Carlisle]] in [[Cumberland]], [[Old Sarum]] in Wiltshire, [[Rhayader]] in [[Powys]], [[Snowdon]] and [[Stonehenge]] in Wiltshire.<ref name=vortigernstudies>[http://www.vortigernstudies.org.uk vortigernstudies.org.uk]</ref>
