Description
A circular, level, enclosed area, 24.,5m in diameter, bounded by a ditch, 5.0m wide and 1.0-1.3m deep, which is encircled by a bank, 5.0m wide. There are no interuptions to the circuit. A medieval, domestic, interpretation seems unlikely (the site name translates as 'the Prior's Place') and the traditional identification is as a 'British camp'. The association of the site with the church and extensive enclosure of Llanafanfawr could indicate some ritual function, cock-fighting is attested as late as 1911.
