Trust : Gwynedd
Community : Arthog
Unitary authority : Gwynedd
NGR : SH63521213
Site Type (preferred type first) : ROMAN HUT CIRCLE
Status : Scheduled Monument

Description :
A possible hut or small enclosure of the late prehistoric or Roman period. The natural scatters of stone which occur across the slopes above Cyfannedd make a definitive interpretation of this site impossible. Enough remains however to distinguish two stretches of tumbled walling which encompass a roughly circular area. <1>

Round hut and cairns on NW slope of Braich Ddu, scheduled. <2>
