What is recorded here
Located on a slight rise in lowlying, boggy pasture bordered to NE by the Gweestion River. Ground falls away gently towards the river, which is 100m to E, and there is rising ground immediately to S–SW. Good views E−SE along the river valley.
A circular enclosure (30-35m) is shown on 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. The outline of a levelled circular enclosure is visible as a very low grassy platform (32m N–S; 34.5m E–W) surrounded by rush-grown land. It is slightly truncated on the N edge by an NE−SW field fence. Ephemeral remains of cultivation ridges on a N–S axis traverse the platform.
