Description
A rectangular embanked enclosure, with a substantial inner bank and outer ditch, measuring 47m x 49m, which occupies a hillslope position overlooking the confluence of two minor rivers. It survives today in the corner of a field, but the similarity of this enclosure with the central structure in Y Bwlwarcau hillfort (NPRN 301303) and its semi-defensive position make an Iron Age date likely. Recorded during RCAHMW aerial reconnaissance on 8th Dec 2010.
