Site Description

NAR SN54SW1

OS County series (Cardigan. XLI.7 1889; 1905) depicts a subrectangular mound, some 30m north-east to south-west by 24m, set on the the tip of a south-facing spur, resting on steep natural scarps above the Teifi river-plain to the east and ditched to the west; thought to represent a medieval castle mound, the earthworks have been largely destroyed by building activities.
