Site Description

An artificial mound, 10m by 1.0-2.0m, remained after road widening in 1971, the W part of which was removed in 1973.
Has been seen as an alternative site for Llanrhystyd castle, whilst thought locally to have been a mill race spoil heap.
(source Os495card; SN56NW4)
An alternative local tradition is that it was where the "Danes" were buried following a battle.
