What is recorded here

On a low knoll on a gentle SE-facing slope. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A circular area (diam. 5.6m), slightly dished in profile, enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2-3m; H 0.5m). A break (Wth 2m) in the bank at NNE may mark the original entrance. Two mature larch trees are growing within the interior. At ESE a large boulder (H 0.7m; Wth 0.8m; T 0.2m) may have served as a facing stone on the inner face of the bank.
