Misc. Earthwork in West Glamorgan. An enclosure set in stunning countryside. Good condition earth works.

Easy access from the track running along side. Half hours walk from the road were I parked at SS845883. There is a hill fort, Y Bwlwarcau, marked on the map to the north east but disappointingly it's almost completely ploughed flat.
