Ancient Village or Settlement in Gwynedd

I stumbled upon this enclosure at Foel Dduarth by chance whilst chasing around after Carnedd y saeson, it was a very good place for a breather as it was getting hotter and my drink had been drunk some time ago.
The low tumbled wall describes an egg shaped enclosure with a large upright stone being whats left of a possible north facing entrance.
The blunt end of the egg to the east is made up of larger boulders, whilst the rest is constructed out of large yet manageable rocks and pebbles.
For a good overview across the site and the whole scrumptious area go up the hill behind the enclosure, this will also show clearly the exact whereabouts of Carnedd y saeson.
