Description
A moated mound, about 50m in diameter and 0.5m high, having a summit area 14m in diameter; set upon a low spur rising above the Afon Tarell valley floor: a possible adjunct of the manor house thought to have occupied the site of Cilhybert farm, as depicted on OS County series (Brecknock. XXXIII.3 1888): the house of Cilhybert is 17th century & later (see Nprn25312): OS 2nd ed. (1904) shows the moat to have been partly filled & ornamental planting upon the mound itself.
