Description
A sheepfold, marked on the Ordnance Survey 1:10000 sheet, is located on the northeast side of Nant Coedcae. Subdivided, and of large stone construction, it measures 35m across, northwest to southeast, by 25m, with walls averaging 1m thick and 1.2m high, rising to 2.5m high on the southwest side.
Banks to the immediate northwest of the fold and on its southern edge suggest that it was built on earlier foundations, perhaps connected with house platforms a short distance to the north (nprn 84354). Further banks project from the north corner of the fold towards the area of the platforms.
