Description
Faint cropmarks show a circular, concentric, ditched enclosure sited on level ground close to a scarp edge, overlooking the minor valley of the Afon Horon on the east and southeast sides. The outer concentric enclosure is estimated at 33m diameter, the inner c. 13m diameter, but these dimensions are approximate. The morphology of the site would suggest a prehistoric ritual monument, perhaps a complex barrow or an open ditched monument such as a henge. Discovered during RCAHMW aerial reconnaissance on 7th July 2004.
