Settlement earthworks that can be associated with the thirteenth century borough (see NPRN 400533) or else with a medieval bond settlement or maerdref[VARDRE].

This is a complex of earthwork features covering an area about 200m across on open ground north of Degannwy Castle (NPRN 95282). There are possible field boundaries together with indications of more organised enclosures and what appears to be a north-west to south-east lane or track passing south of given NGR.
Features recorded as a prehistoric settlement (NPRN 303133) may be associated with this complex, as may other settlement features in the vicinity (NPRN 15073, 400536).

More extensive earthworks are located south of the castle (NPRN 400533).
