Site 450m NW of Glan Mule is a prehistoric ring ditch of Bronze Age date, identified and recorded through aerial photographic survey in the Monmouth area of Wales. The monument consists of a circular or sub-circular ditch, a form of earthwork commonly associated with burial practice and ritual activity during the Bronze Age period. Such ring ditches typically enclosed funerary deposits or served ceremonial functions within prehistoric communities, and their identification through aerial archaeology has been instrumental in revealing settlement and ritual patterns across the Welsh landscape that would otherwise remain invisible at ground level. The site is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the Cadw designation SAM MG172.
