Description
The westernmost of two earthworks located just inside enclosed land near the edge of Gelligaer Common (see also NPRN 91972).
The site consists of three sides of an enclosure, described by the Commission and surveyed by OS. However, when approached from the east it appears to constitute a raised terrace which strengthens the impression that it is connected with the former golf course in this locality. The earthwork looks like a tee-off point.
