An oval enclosure, c.54m NE-SW by 46m, defined by a bank and ditch, destroyed by quarrying on the NW. Excavations in 1960s, produced evidence for a strong encience, gateway and internal structures, broadly dated to 1100-1150. Residual Romano-British material may indicate re-use of an earlier enclosure. (Coflein)
A grass covered earthwork partly enclosing the top of a hillock, consists of a ditch with a slight inner bank around the W, E and S sides. Excavated; shown to be castle-ringwork. (Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust HER)
The monument comprises the remains of an embanked enclosure containing the remains of a rectangular building, which probably dates to the medieval period. The site is situated on level ground on the east side of a valley close to a stream. A bank and ditch measuring c. 55m by 45m, enclose the north, east and south sides with evidence for a rectilinear building in the north-east corner. The north-western side of the enclosure has been removed through past quarrying. (Scheduling Report)
