Earthworks of a deserted farmstead, approx. 2 miles south of Rhayader, on the slopes above the River Wye. Several irregular enclosures are prominent, the largest measuring approx. 85m by 50m with an adjoining semi-circular enclosure. Relict earthworks of a house platform and two other irregular enclosures are located to the south of the enclosures. Cultivation ridges and further boundary earthworks are evident approx. 135 m to the west. To the east, there are two rectangular enclosures, each measuring approx. 16m by 12m adjoining the present day field boundary.
