Disgrifiad o´r Safle

An apparent motte and bailey, where the mound appears to be a thickening of one angle of the rampart round a sub-rectangular enclosure, c.26m NE-SW by 18m, resting on the NW on steep slopes above the Usk river-plain.
The site is thought to have been reduced by land-slips and is obscurred by a road on the SE.
The site has produced 12-13th c. pottery.
