Site Record

Enclosures, irregular strips of stone clearance and rectangular buildings lie on two terraces above the west bank of Nant Llynfell, close to the edge of the stream cutting, just beyond the limit of modern enclosed land, on the west side of Nant Llynfell, close to the stream cutting.

SN 75681474: located on the upper terrace, this sub-rectangular enclosure measures 19m (NW-SE) by 16m within a stony bank 1m-2m wide and 0.2m-0.3m high. There is a narrow gap in the south-west corner. A short L-shaped bank projects from the south-east corner.
SN 75681470: a two-bay building is located at the north edge of the lower terrace on a reed-infested platform. Defined by stony banks surviving to 0.3m-0.6m high and 1m wide it measures overall about10m (E-W) by 5m with a cross-wall 6m from the west end. Each bay is entered via gaps in the south wall either side of the cross-wall. The outer face of the east wall has collapsed into a small quarry dug alongside.
SN 75671469: a small sub-rectangular structure excavated out of the natural boulder platform on the north measures 4m (E-W) by 3.5m and is defined by a boulder bank 0.8m high. The east end is largely obscured by rushes.

Three stony banks - probably strips of cleared stone - lie on the lower terrace:-
SN 75671468 a curved stony band 14m long (N-S), up to 1.5m wide and 0.3m high merging on the N with natural scatters.
SN 75681467 at right angles to above, a sinuous stony strip 20m long (E-W) to edge of valley, up to 1.5m wide and 0.3m high.
SN 75671465 roughly parallel with above though off-set to the W, 20m long 1.5m wide and 0.2m high. On the N side of the E end of this strip is a small rectangular structure overall 4m (E-W) by 3m defined by stony banks 0.2m high.
The area enclosed by the first two banks is stony. The area between the second two banks is relatively stone-free.
