An iron age hillfort lying just south west of the near by cairns of Trychrug. It has two defence walls which are dry stone and the remains of a 6m roundhouse lie just below the turf. The internall area of the hillfort is roughly 112m by 60m and the openings between the two defence walls are staggered for a zig zag effect.
