Full Description
On the summit of a large natural grass-covered mound which lies at the break in slope at the foot of the E flank of Belig, at around 64m OD are the ruinous remains of an enclosure and two multi-cell structures. The enclosure measures 13m in diameter over walls 1.5m wide and 1.5m high. Access is by a narrow gap 1.0m wide on its W side. A twinning pen has been built against the inside face of the wall on the NW side. The degraded remains of two multi-cell structures lie just outside the enclosure to the N and NE. Both have been dug into the mound and it is possible that they pre-date the enclosure.
Visited 1991.
