Description
The irregular, elongated enclosure at Llandegley Rocks measures c.180m by 46m, and is laid out along a ridge, resting on cliffs to the south-east and south-west - where it is mutilated by quarrying and therefore difficult to interpret. It is defined elsewhere by possibly multiple banks. A north-east facing scarp cuts the enclosure in two. Vegetation cover in March 2011 was largely grass.

A much larger, less strongly defined enclosure (NPRN 400368) lies c.100m to the west.
