The hill, like Foel Fenlli and Moel Arthur to the south, has an Iron Age hillfort at its summit.[4] It covers {{convert|26|ha}} making it one of the largest hillforts in Wales.[4] In 2017, excavations by the Clywdian Range Archaeology Group (CRAG) unearthed a significant number of 4,000-year-old stone tools from the Bronze Age, the discovery indicates human activity occurred much earlier than first thought in the area.[1] Penycloddiau is crossed by the Offa's Dyke Path and the Clwydian Way, two long distance footpaths that traverse the hills in this area.
