    Description
    A house platform is located on the steep SW-facing slope of Drysgol.
    The platform terrace measures 12.5m (NE-SW) by 6.5m wide at the upper end, but only 4.5m wide at the outer lip. It has been cut back to a depth of 1.5m and built out to 0.9m high.
    There are no visible traces of buildings upon the platform which is infested with bracken.
    Superimposed upon the platform is a linear bank, part of the spread wall/bank of an enclosure of what is probably an abandoned intake of land beyond the extent of the current enclosures (NPRN 84088).
