Situated above Harlech town the enclosure is on a level about 400m below the larger settlement of Muriau'r Gwyddelod. The enclosure is 21m in diameter and has massive walls of 5m+ thick. The interior is flat and overgrown with no discernable remains visible. The enclosure has been used as a sheep fold and lambing shelters have been built into the walls.
