Description
A fully excavated subcircular enclosure (see Ward 1981 (Gower 22), 47-52), c.10m by 9.0m, defined by a kerbed stony bank, c.2.0m wide and 0.4m high, having original entrances to the N and S, the last blocked in antiquity. Placed centrally in the enclosure was a pit containing charcoal, bone and organic material, thought to represent a token redeposition; two fire sites were noted against the inside of the bank.
