Site Description

Cadw SAM No.=MM066
NAR ST28NE1

A local eminence measuring some 80m (NE-SW) by 60m appears to have been utilised for defensive purposes, the natural scarp edges having been artificially embanked. The only traces of such embanking, however, now lie on the S where an inner scarp rises to no more than 0.3m.
