Description
Bryn Cywyn is a subrectangular banked and ditched enclosure, about 40m east-west by 25m, set on ground falling to the north-west, having an east-facing entrance. An excavation in 1972-3, revealed remains of rectangular timber buildings, limited finds, included two nail fragments; radio-carbon dating suggested occupation around the later 1st and earlier 2nd century AD.
