Description

A small enclosure lies on a local rise close to a wall which now encloses the Coed Taf Fawr forestry plantation, at 390m above O.D. It is defined by a spread grassy bank (stony on its W side) averaging 1.5m wide and rising to 0.3m high; overall the feature measures 11m across. The absence of a clearly defined entrance gap makes it an unlikely hut circle. The proximity of the wall and the condition of the remains suggest a possible robbed cairn. Indeed a number of large cairns are situated a short distance to the SW.
The ground externally falls gently N and W.
