This site is now completely destroyed and only visible as crop-marks. It lays below agricultural land.
Royal Commission aerial reconnaissance on 4th July 2018 discovered cropmarks of a rectangular defended enclosure measuring approx. 60m x 70m sited on the coastal plain south of Llanon, west of Tanrallt farm. The enclosure is characteristic of later Iron Age and Romano-British defended settlements normally found in the south of Ceredigion. No diagnostic internal features are visible. The enclosure currently lies some 260m inland of the coast.
