Disgrifiad o´r Safle The cropmark of a broad, near circular, ditch with a narrow ditch concentrically within was revealed by aerial photography in 1975. Six pits forming a regular hexagon some 6.0m in diameter, is 40m to the east. Also ten post-pits form a circle some 10m in diameter, about 85m to the west. These features may possibly be 'ritual structures' of henge type.
