What is recorded here
Fairy forts are human origins wearing a mythical skin. A ringfort is a boundary drawn around a life, a home, a claim, a memory, or a warning. The chamber is the visible result of that boundary. This is a place where the hidden and the human stopped pretending they were different.
In level pasture. Circular area (diam. 24m) defined by a scarped edge with inner lip (int. H 0.05m; ext. H 0.35m), intermediate fosse (Wth 2m), and external bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.1m). Site divided in two by E-W running field boundary and drain. Interior level and under pasture.
