Description

Cropmarks recorded by the Royal Commission, during drought aerial reconnaissance on 4th July 2018 show the parched outline of a circular, narrow-ditched enclosure measuring approx. 25m diameter. The enclosure has the appearance of an Early Bronze Age ring ditch or plough-levelled barrow. However, it is of similar character to the other undated cropmark circular enclosures recorded a kilometre west at Bryn-Crug (NPRN 275900), concievably of prehistoric or Early Medieval date.
