3. Caer bach, a small hillfort on a rounded hillock. The hillock is encircled by two lines of defence, the outer being a bank of earth with an external ditch, which reaches a maximum height of 10ft. A stone revetment of laid masonry can be traced on the NW outer face, and a slight counterscarp bank on the S. The East side merges into the natural slope. The entrances through both ramparts were on the SE but are badly damaged. A hut circle can be traced against the inner face of the NW side of the inner enclosure.
