NAR SH48SE7

What had been identified as an early medieval llys or hall, was discovered on excavation to be a post-medieval settlement. The site lies on the lower south-eastern slopes of Bodafon Mountain.
At least five rectangular buildings are set about a subrectangular walled enclosure, some 40-50m across. The buildings are between 8.0m by 4.5m and 5.0m by 3.5m, with walls between 0.7m & 1.3m thick standing up to 1.0m high. There are traces of other walled enclosures, paddocks and fields.
Three of the buildings were examined in 1954 when sixteenth-eighteenth century pottery was recovered.
This is likely to be a farmstead, possibly a seasonally occupied upland hafod.
