Dyfed Archaeological Trust record of a motte but the sources given in the Dyfed Archaeological Trust HER seem to suggest it is also considered as a prehistoric defended enclosure.

Gatehouse Comments

Not identified by the usual authorities. This site is by a river crossing and is similar to many small mottes which appear to have functioned mainly as taxation points although this is not a major route and is easily bypassed.
