The stone ramparts of Garn Boduan encircle the summit at 279 meters elevation, containing traces of multiple circular dwelling structures within its boundaries.
Archaeological surveys from the 1950s identified remains of 170 round houses at Garn Boduan, indicating a substantial settlement during the Iron Age period.
