Description
1. The ruins of a rectangular building constructed on a platform levelled into the outer bank of the hillfort which also occupies this site.

2. A much ruined mortared stone building, c. 16m NE-SW by 10m, thought to be the remains of a first-floor hall (RCAHMW 1982 Glamorgan III.2, 178).
It is suggested that the building is set within a contemporary, sub-rectangular enclosure, c.78m N-S by 54m, defined by scarps and banks, below the main enclosure of Caer Dynanaf hillfort (Nprn93053).
Rejected as a castle site (RCAHMW 2000 Glamorgan III.1b, 166).
