Disgrifiad o´r Safle

A stretch of bank, 7.0m across and c.1.0m high, to the NE and E of Court Farm house (Nprn36715). A contiuation to the W was levelled c.1970.
Os 1:2500 (1920) shows a pond, fed from the W, whose outfall (shown on Os Landline) may follow the W side of the enclosure, giving overall dimensions of c.43m by 58m, suitable for an IA enclosure. The church (Nprn3023) to the N, can be seen as occupying a triangular annex to the enclosure, c.42m by 43m.
