Pwll-y-Wythen Fach
Date Added: 2nd Jan 2015
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 29th Dec 2014
Pwll-y-Wythen Fach submitted by SandyG on 29th Dec 2014. Circular drystone building in the foot of a shake hole. The structure appears fresh in appearance, is unusual in form for a prehistoric dwelling and should therefore be considered more likely to be of historic date. Still an impressive location. To judge the scale note the figure on the rim of the shake hole above the structure. View from west (21st July 2014).

When one side was worn the mortar stone was turned over and the process started again.
