1. A small, oval, single-banked enclosure located in Stradey Wood
measuring 70m (N-S) by 55m (scaled from map) within a bank, now largely reduced to an outer scarp, up to 4m high on the E.

2. The enclosure is substantially as described in RCAHM Carmarthenshire Inventory in 1917. To the N the bank is about 3m high outside, 2m inside. The flattening out of the slope on this side is probably due to the wearing of a later path across the slope; there is no evidence of a definite break in the bank. On the E, the bank is a single outward-facing scarp up to 4m high, on a steep natural slope. The interior at the SE corner is badly damaged by stream action, possibly a drainage ditch paralleling an old field bank which cuts across the corner here. On the S side the bank is quite low in places and the entrance may well have been in this sector. The site generally is fairly overgrown with undergrowth and mature trees; the W side is virtually inaccessible. There appears to be a substantial ditch outside the W bank, its W side being the same height as the bank itself, about 2.5m. Within the enclosure are the ruins of a stone-built building, said by the Commission in 1917 to be an 18th C summer house, but only the W wall still stands, to a height of about 2.5m. The track approaching from the N is probably contemporary with the building.
