It has been set out in straight sections, apparently twelve in all, forming an irregular polygon. The entrance was probably on the S, inturned on one side though this is worn down by cultivation.

From GGAT: Apart from minor mutilation it is in good condition & consists of a pronounced bank with outer ditch forming an enclosure of generally sub-circular form. PRN - 00383m
Only about 500yds from the road it is disguised by by bushes and trees. Access is limited by locked gates and fences
Note: The recent snowy landscape reveals some of Wales' forgotten ancient remains
