Hillfort in South Glamorgan

"On a small isolated hilltop bounded on the W by limestone cliffs, the enclosure measures 75m (N-S) by 55m (0.3ha). On the N,W and S it is defined by a mutilated bank of earth and stone best preserved on the N where it, and its external ditch, measures 7.5m wide overall and 0.6m high. The entrance was probably on the S."
