This fish trap is part of the Aberarth Fish Trap complex (NPRN 129859). It consists of two arms, which probably represent different phasing of the same trap. The arms probably comprise the remains of dry stone walls. The first arm is 'C' shaped, and is visible on first edition Ordnance Survey mapping. It measures approximately 180m from end to end and runs along the shoreline at the low water mark. The second arm is visible on modern aerial photographic coverage, and begins approximately 20m further shoreward. It is linear, and runs parallel to the first arm. The two arms conjoin at their eastern ends. A charter of 1184 records that the goredi of Llanddewi Aberarth were offered to the monastery of Strata Florida. They remained in use until the 1930s.
