Ancient Village or Settlement in Monmouthshire (Sir Fynwy)
From Coflein: "Earthworks of what appears to be a roughly oval enclosure, about 200-220m north to south by 95m, tapering to the south, running about the upper slopes, or summit of an isolated hill, or knoll; an inturned entrance, possibly as much as 20m across, is apparent on the north-east; the north-western section of the enclosure circuit appears to be reflected in a change in vegetation."
