This is the more striking of two stone built enclosures within 500m of each other. This is a landscape that contains many prehistoric and later historical monuments many of which are schedulled. This enclosure occupies the higher ground and has commanding views of the Mawddach Estuary and the resort town of Abermaw (Barmouth).
The enclosure is circular and it has a 45m diameter. it has been raised to the east and north resulting in a level interior with suggestions of huts and pits.
