Mazes

Caerdroia: Literal translation from the Welsh language means "Castle of Turns". It is also thought to be a reference to Troy - since Caerdroia is also the modern Welsh word for that famous ancient city. In medieval times Caerdroia was a turf labyrinth usually in the seven fold Cretan Labyrinth design. They were created by shepherds on hilltops and were apparently the setting for ritual dances the nature of which have been lost. However, at the centre of each Caerdroia was a small hillock - in Welsh, "twmpath." A gathering for folk dancing in Wales is still called a "twmpath dawns." ...more on Wikipedia about "Caerdroia"

Many turf mazes in England were named Troy Town, Troy-town or variations on that theme (such as Troy, The City of Troy Troy's Walls or The Walls of Troy) presumably because, in popular legend, the walls of the city of Troy were constructed in such a confusing and complex way that any enemy who entered them would be unable to find their way out. Welsh hilltop turf mazes (none of which now exist) were called " Caerdroia", which can be translated as "City of Troy" (or perhaps "castle of turns"). ...more on Wikipedia about "Troy Town"
