What is recorded here
No visible bank survives at the north, yet the fort holds its shape on a gentle south-facing slope. A field wall cuts through the ancient ring at north-west and north-east, while the interior grows vegetables instead of memory. The boundary has become a garden bed, the fort an ordinary lunchplace where soil and wall collide without warning.
On a gentle S-facing slope in pastureland. Classified by Cody (1989, 191-2, no. 44) as a
subcircular rath (31m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by a bank, no visible surface trace of which survives at N. A field wall cuts through the monument at NW and NE and the interior is used as a vegetable garden.
