Ancient Settlement in Gwynedd
"On the gentler S and SE-facing slopes of Mynydd Mynytho, burnt off vegetation has revealed widespread scatters of scree. Linear and curvilinear arrangements are visible as well as 'platforms'. It is not clear to what extent these are natural or artificial. An artificial bank appears to enclose the hilltop (NPRN300264) and just outside of this on the E is the most pronounced stone setting which forms a curvilinear arrangement 10m-12m across overall."
