Penyclawdd castle mound is a sub-circular ditched moundmeasuring about 28m-30m in diameter and 2.4m high, without which on the north and west are two banks either side of a wet moat. The tops of these banks are approximatly level with the summit of the mound, & it is suggested that this has been subject to landscaping (see Nprn401612); on the south-east are the house, enclosures & outbuildigs of Pen-y-Clawdd Court Farm. (Nprns 20628, 43337); together these features appear to be set within a poorly defined subrectangular enclosure, c.150m NNW-SSE by 135m.
