The Iron Age hillfort has been the subject of an ongoing excavation since the start of the 21st century,^{[citation needed]} accompanied by an exercise in reconstruction archaeology whereby experiments in prehistoric farming have been practised. Four roundhouses and a granary have been reconstructed on their original Iron Age foundations – some 2,000 years old – the hillfort being the only site in Britain where this has been done.^[1] The Castell Henllys site includes significant earthworks and fortifications.^[2]

During the summer the site provides training for young archaeologists and is a popular visitor attraction.^[3] It is owned by Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
