Description
A roughly circular earthwork enclosure (bank and internal ditch) appended to Hafod Nant y Griafolen, hut and enclosure I (NPRN 400891). It encloses some 600 sq. metres with an entrance set in the south-east corner. Situated against the northern side of the enclosure is a hut foundation 6m x 3.5m.

No excavation was undertaken on this site. Its similarity and close association with the other excavated enclosures and huts suggest it forms part of this group and was occupied in the 15th or 16th century.
