Description

A burnt mound lies within a sharp bend of a stream which feeds the Afon y Waun.
The mound is roughly semicircular in shape and measures 15m (NE-SW) by 10.5m with a maximum height of 1m. On its south-east (streamward) side there is a shallow, but characteristic, indentation. The mound is turf-covered but occasional patches of blackened earth, charcoal and small jagged broken stones are visible. Apart from some erosion on its streamward side, this cooking mound is in good condition.
