A raised mound runs across the picture from left to right, with a slight depression left of centre where a vehicle track crosses it. I had expected it to be marked on the OS map as an Iron Age hill fort or similar ancient monument but it is not listed as such. The view across Pant St Brides is towards Tynycaia Farm with the village of St Brides visible on the left.
