This 'V' shaped fish trap is visible on modern aerial photographic coverage, and is situated a few meters south of NPRN 518870 (Aberarth fish Trap 11). It consists of two arms, probably seperated by a cod-end or sluice. The arms comprise dry stone walls, with the apex of the 'V' pointing seaward. The northen arm of the 'V' points nort-east (shoreward) and measures approximately 75m. The southern arm points south (shoreward) and measures some 45m.

Event and Historical Information:
Evelyn Lewes notes that Rhys ap Gruffydd's charter of 1184 records that the goredi of Llanddewi Aberarth were offered to the monastery of Strata Florida. They remained in use until the 1930s.
