A small, roughly circular, enclosure comprising a single low bank and affording excellent views to the South.
Caer Caradoc (Chapel Lawn) is clearly visible from this location.
Easily accessible as a footpath runs right by it and there is ample room on the Pen-Y-Wern to Rockhill road to park up. The Pen-Y-Wern stone circle/cairn and standing stone are nearby.
