Description
Earthworks of a denuded hillfort commanding a spur or ridge some 360m NW of Twyn y Gaer hillfort, with a well-marked holloway ascending the hillslopes to the west at SN 9851 2826. Aerial photographs from 28th March 2012, together with LiDAR detail, show the surviving western curving rampart and gateway of a small hillfort probably once measuring 157m x 113m and enclosing 1.4 hectares, otherwise defined by the limits of the spur which it commands.
