What is recorded here

Fort named on the Fair Plan and drawn as a small subcircular enclosure about 15m across on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, clipped by the NW-SE road from W to S. In July 1984 only a wide fosse about 10m across remained visible, curving from W to N to SE, while a field boundary cut the site in two. That boundary has since disappeared from aerial imagery, leaving the fort less divided and easier to imagine as a place people once drew a line around.
In grassland, immediately to the NE of a road. Named 'Fort' on the Fair Plan and depicted as a small subcircular enclosure (c. 15m NW-SE) on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was clipped by the NW-SE running road from W to S. On inspection in July 1984 all that was visible was a wide fosse (Wth c. 10m) curving from W to N to SE. A NNE-SSW running field boundary bisected the site. Current aerial imagery (Google 2019) indicates that the latter boundary has since been cleared away.
