Rectangular earthwork of longhouse structure some 14m long. It is sited on summit of low, elongated outcrop in semi-defensive position, some 360m NNE of Neuadd farmhouse (NPRN 81426). Around the southern lip of the summit of the outcrop is a low bank, presumably an enclosure or wall associated with the longhouse. This structure may represent a medieval earthwork contemporary with the castles and settlement on nearby Cefnllys Castle. Discovered during RCAHMW aerial reconnaissance on 12th November 2003.
