Description
NAR SH68SW12

Earthworks of a later Prehistoric type walled settlement with a second less substantial example immediately to the south. Similar sites are recorded some 60m to the west (NPRN 400727) and about 150m to the south-west (NPRN 400728).
The settlement consists of a roundhouse about 8.0m across set at the western end of an irregular oval enclosure some 18-20m across. To the south two roundhouses, 8.0m and 6.0m in diameter, are attached to a smaller walled enclosure. Traces of what appears to be an isolated roundhouse have been noted a little way to the west.
These settlement features may be associated with the old field boundaries and cultivation terraces in Penmon Park (see NPRN 302861).
