What is recorded here

Half a football pitch across and no taller than a child’s knee, the fort holds its shape on a shelf above the valley. Farms and ploughs took the outer works decades ago, but the inner circle still refuses to flatten. People called it a fairy fort because the shape defied explanation, yet the clean geometry and deliberate bank suggest human hands more often. What is certain is that the place still marks itself on the land, waiting to be remembered.

On a shelf of level ground on a NE-facing slope. A raised circular area (diam. c. 34m) enclosed from WSW-N-ENE by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.7-4.3m; H 0.4-0.7m). From S-SW-WSW the bank has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. Elsewhere the defining element is a scarp (H 0.8-1m). A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded an intervening fosse and an outer bank that are no longer identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
