Description
Relict field boundaries occur over an area, c.630m to the NE of Maes-y-Gaer hillfort (Nprn95298), on NW facing slopes above steep, wooded slopes. These features appear to be concentrated in a c.200m NE-SW strip, although some extend towards a craggy summit, c.600m to the SE. These are likely to have prehistoric origins, but are also associated with medieval and post-medieval settlement features to the south (Nprn15151, 93598)
