What is recorded here

Clear the black thorn from the entry gap and the fort returns. Thirty-five metres of marl, scarped and ditched, waits beneath the branches with one thin break where cattle have dragged themselves through for generations. The fairies keep the chamber, but people have always walked it when the thorn was cut back.

In pasture, atop slight rise in marshy ground. Circular area (diam. c. 35m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.75m; ext. H 1.8m) SSE->NNW, and defined by scarped edge (H 0.7m; Wth 1.3m) NNW->SSE, with external fosse (D 0.8m; Wth 2.2m) all around, and counterscarp bank (int. H 1.05m; ext. H 0.25m) SSE->NNW. Narrow break in bank at WNW probably caused by cattle accessing interior. Banks and fosse covered by undergrowth with mature trees growing on both banks. Interior covered by dense overgrowth except E third which is under rough pasture. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
