Description
1. L-shaped building in ruinous condition, set within an hexagonal enclosure (PRN 35904). The building is located at the northern end of a platform which is in the north-west quadrant of the enclosure: the original building may have been a platform house set at 90 degrees to the slope. The building may have an internal division. Enclosure 40m x 43m, building 6m x 6.1m (PRN 26601), platform 6m x 13m (PRN 37338). (Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust 1995).

Scheduled 27/5/99.

2. Rectangular building with an extension consisting of a wall with a right-angle turn in it at NE corner. Surface boulders have been dumped to form the foundation walls of the building with blocks selected to form external facing, most noticable on S side, and opposite these on the inside some thinnish slabs utilised. Elsewhere facing stones are not much in evidence. Extension does not appear to be secondary; entrance is not readily visible but it may be in NE corner with the extension functioning as a porch shelter. Internal surface fairly level with some tumbled stone both inside and out. Overall dimension of the building are 7.4m E/W by 5.4m (excluding porch). Its north wall and the porch is set back into a natural scarp that is slightly concave at this point, and the top of the scarp is integrated into the enclosure surrounding this and the platform PRN 37338. (CPAT 2004)

This record relates to the later stone building which occupies the N end of the platform within composite site PRN 37370.
