What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not made for humans, though humans made them. That is the first lesson. The second is to leave the ring alone, because the boundary is still drawn and the forgetting is not complete.
On a rise in low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 33.6m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.6-4m; H 0.4m) with an external fosse (Wth 1m; D 0.2-0.3m), which is identifiable only from SE-SSE-S and from SW-WSW-W. The original entrance is not recognisable.
