Ancient Settlement in Gwynedd
Situated on a west facing slope the site lies upon raised flat platforms between two terraces. The hut circles are substantial and adjoined by boundary walls. There is a levelled enclosure to the north that is considered contemporary with the hut circles. The walls of the huts are thick but generally collapsed with the stones of one hut forming buttresses having tumbled down the slope. There is a field system (small) to the south of the settlement.There is a stream to the north that would have provided water for the Settlement.
I noted three hut circles with one having an interior diameter of 9m and being raised to 0.50m on the inside. Externally, the height is far greater given the slope. Measuring was difficult due to the settlement site being densely overgrown.
This is an upland landscape with the settlement site having extensive views of the Snowdonia mountains and the west coast.
