Description
A hill-top enclosure, roughly 850m east-west by 400-500m, defined by tumbled stone walls which are pierced by several, apparently original entrances, running between precipitous crags: within this walled area are about 170 circular structures from 4.0m to 12m in diameter, including three double, concentric circles: also present are several rectangular buildings, one of which is said to have been in use, as a hafod, into the 19th century.
