In a field to the SE of Penlan Uchaf farm lies the denuded remains of an enclosure.
What is left of the enclosure lies adjacent to and immediately to the E of, a standing stone. The stone lies on a level terrace almost at the point at which the ground starts to fall away to the E as a sloping terrace. It is on this terrace that the enclosure lies.
Better seen on APs, the enclosure is mainly defined on the ground by the scarp edges of the terrace itself, perhaps accentuated artificially. The terrace interior so defined measures some 65m (E-W) by 60m. The enclosure perimeter is only clearly defined on the SW quadrant where there is a visible arc of bank and outer ditch, 55m in length, fading as the stone is approached. A prominent ditch fronts what appears to be a ploughed-out bank (or the scarp of the terrace) and there are traces of a counterscarp bank. The overall width of the arrangement is about 18m, the ditch having a width of 13m and the (inner) bank 5m. The ditch has a depth of about 0.4m externally.
