Site Record

1. The homestead at Erw Wen is a sub-circular enclosure, c.26-30m in diameter, with a centrally placed circular structure, 9.0m internal diameter, terraced into NW facing slopes, upon a NE-SW terrace that can be associated with the field system (Nprn308947) to the NW.

An excavation in 1980-81 (Kelly 1981; 1988, 119ff), demonstrated that the central structure had replaced a sequence of timber predecessors.

At least three rectangular, possibly medieval structures are found on and around the site (Bowen & Gresham 1967, fig).
