1. Parchmarks of a complex of linear features and enclosures, recorded summer 1975.
At the centre of the complex is a square ditched feature, very likely to be an early medieval square barrow, in the region of 7.5m across. This is set at the eastern end of an oval or polygonal defended enclosure, about 45m east-west by 32m.
Some of the linear features may represent relatively recent field boundaries. The site occupies the level summit of a spur overlooking the Dyfrdwy flood plain and overlooked by Caer Gai Roman fort (NPRN 95436) some 250m to the north. The small square enclosure could represent a Roman or early medieval funerary monument or shrine. The combination of a relatively small square enclosure and an attached larger oval, can be matched at Forden Gaer (NPRN 309300), where both elements are roughly twice the size of those at Caer Gai.
