PRN 80816 - Talerddig siding enclosure wall

A short stretch of stone wall, drystone with both quarried and waterworn rubble in it; about 20m long and over 1m high. Gives way to a thorn hedge both S and N. However, the presence of another, longer stretch of wall on the W side of the field implies that there may once have been a stone-walled enclosure here though the differential survival is curious (CPAT visit 1999).

Cut during pipeline work over which CPAT held a watching brief in 2000 (PRN 85162). Wall constructed of facing stones with a loose rubble core. Its appearance suggested that it was of relatively modern construction (Hankinson, R, 2001g, pp4).
