Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust record of ? ringwork reads 'Oval enclosure on NE facing slope enclosing area some 50m by 42m with bank of 1.1m max height. Reduced to scarp on N by ploughing. Possible entrance on E. Possible hillfort (RCAHM 1913, Hogg 1979) or Ringwork (Savory 1954)'
The monument comprises the remains of an earthwork/stone-built enclosure. The date or precise nature of Llethrau Camp is unknown, but it is likely to be later prehistoric or possibly medieval. It is a small oval enclosure, measuring c.50m east-west by c.42m, lying on a north-east facing slope close to the headwaters of the river Teme. Its single line of defences has been much reduced by past cultivation, apart from a portion within a former copse on the west. Around much of the circuit, only the bank survives, and even this is reduced to a scarp on the north. On the west, however, it reaches a maximum height of c.1.1m and is accompanied by a visible outer ditch. There are traces of a possible simple entrance gap on the east. (Scheduling Report)
