Description
The Maen-Y-Bardd settlement features include an oval enclosure cut into the hillside, with walls 2-3ft thick and 2 long huts inside.
There is a roughly oval enclosure approx 35m north-east/south-west by 30m, defined by scarps and remains of walling, set into south-east facing slopes in an extensive area of relict field boundry enclosure features (Nprn309186). Two rectangular structures, approx 9.0m north-west/south-east by 4.4m and 7.4m north-west/south-east by 4.2m, lie within.

The south-east part of the enclosure shows traces of cultivation, with lazy-beds/garden features.
