Full Description
22 May 1986. Visit.
Hole in ground. Circular, about 2m across and 1m deep, steep sided, surrounded by earth bank around 0.7m across and 0.5m high. To one side, semi-circular ditch cut in ground around 0.75m wide and 0.25m deep. Much overgrown and silted by dead leaves. No masonry apparent. Note ditch does not surround hole but is separate. Use and origin unknown. Land shown as part of heathland on (S1) and (S2) since afforested. Quite probably industrial structure but not limekiln despite vague similarity. Or wartime feature?
E. Rose (NAU), 22 May 1986.
These features may well derive from charcoal burning. Compare similar arrangement at Museum of Welsh Life, National Museum of Wales, St Fagan's, Mid Glamorgan.
