Description

Earthworks of a multi-phase enclosed hut group, surviving among prehistoric and later field systems on the slopes of Ffridd Ddu.

Originally this appears to have been a concentric homestead enclosure of Iron Age type, measuring 30m diameter. At a later date, an oval enclosure or sheepfold some 20m across was constructed over the earlier enclosure in the southern, upslope, half.

Recorded during RCAHMW aerial reconnaissance on 20th April 2018.
