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.
