What is recorded here

Located towards the SW end of a slight NE-SW ridge. A small enclosure (diam. c. 20m) with trees on the perimeter is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. This was described in 1983 as a slightly dished grass-covered area (diam. 16.3m N-S; 16.3m E-W) with some tree-stumps. It was defined by a slight earthen bank (H 0.1m), but the area was being ploughed by 1995 (OSAP).
