Possible enclosure with a central hut circle and an incorporated hut circle. Visible on 1976 nmr ap (rchm app 1985). Vis=16/12/1977 (os). On a slight west slope above the east bank of the bala brook at sx66986318 are the remains of a hut group, consisting of two definite hut circles and the vague outline of a hut platform, partially enclosed by a length of low and fragmentary walling. The hut circles are 5.5m and 3.5m in diameter respectively with walls of 1m thickness. They are in very poor condition and no type can be allocated to them.
