Description
A grassy platform located on an east-facing slope above the Taf valley, associated with a large number of similar structures and enclosures. The terrace measures 6m long (east by west) by 3.5m wide, cut into rising ground to a depth of 0.2m, and built out to 0.7m high. The platform is defined at its upper end by a stony hood 0.4m high which is carried round the south-east side of the platform as a stony bank; the hood is elsewhere grassy. The surface of the terrace is turf covered with stones protruding.
