Hillfort in Ceredigion

"A rather irregular, curvilinear enclosure, about 152m north-south by 84m, tapering to the south, defined by substantial banks, or scarps, having an additional, detached rampart on the east & a possible west-facing entrance: the form of the earthworks suggests that an original, roughly oval enclosure, 70-80m across, was extended to the south."
