Ancient Settlement in Gwynedd

From GAT2930:

"The remains of a sub-square enclosure with a single hut circle. A rectangular structure is built across the enclosure wall."

Coflein lists the site as Pont Scethin S, Settlement, although with a slightly different NGR. Even so, the site is quite easy to find as it is visible from the track.
