What is recorded here

Located towards the NW end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. It is depicted as a small circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 20m) incorporated in a NE-SW field bank on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, and as a small circular enclosure with field banks extending from it to the NNE, SE and SW on the 1907 edition. This is a small circular grass-covered area (diam. 18.5m) defined by a field bank and hedge. There is no visible fosse or ditch but there is an entrance at SE. It may be a landscape feature.
