Landscape context for the enclosure’s position above the estuary. From St John’s Hill to the south. Apropos of little, Dylan Thomas’ writing shed can be seen bottom left of the photo.

Looking down on the earthwork of the D-shaped enclosure from the terracing to the northwest (that I assume to be a relatively modern feature?).

The Taf estuary lies below, the distant hills on the left skyline are Llanmadoc Hill and Rhossili Down on the Gower peninsular.
