Description
Indistict, but persitent grass-mark feature, discernible on RAF vertical cover (106G/UK/1471:2207), oblique AP used as cover illustration for Carmarthen County Museum Dolaucothi booklet (1971).
The site occupies ground falling gently to the south-west, above steeper slopes to the south, about 250m north-east of Pumsaint, & appears to comprise three concentric rings, about 6.0m, 10.5m & 20m across respectively, the middle ring being the best defined.

A similar, less certain feature, a ring, about 16m in diameter, can be observed at SN65564081.

Associated with:
