Description
A sub-rectangular enclosure is located on the summit of a ridge, on the north side of a minor road. It measures about 76m east by west by 46m, and is defined by a bank, doubled on the east, entrance facade, and ditch.
OS County series mapping (Glamorgan. XXXVII.12, 1875) depicts a curvilinear feature with a radius of 32m-38m, on the west of the currently recorded earthworks, presumably representing an equivilent of the east outworks.
