Clawdd Brythonic Enclosure
Clawdd Brythonic Enclosure submitted by geoffstickland : It is difficult to get a picture that captures the whole site in its fullness. This shows the outer ditch and bank. (Vote or comment on this photo)
An iron Age Defensive Enclosure about 80' more or less circular. It is unusual in having a two concentric ditches. Damaged a little by modern army tracks. The site is situated high on the Epynt Military range hence access is questionable.
