What is recorded here

Fairy forts are human inventions. That is the trouble with them. They are also the reason they are worth seeing, because people saw something in the shape that resisted ordinary explanation. The measurement removes the magic. The story admits the magic. Both are true. The field keeps both.

On a low rise in pasture. A raised subcircular area (diam. 23.7m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.8m; H 0.4m max.) with a narrow, shallow, external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.25m) from NNE–S–W. A NE–SW running field boundary cuts the monument at NNE and W and while the enclosing elements to the NW of it have been levelled, their outlines are still evident. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a low outer bank; it has also been levelled but its outline (Wth 2.9m) is also still visible. A break (Wth 3.3m) in the bank at ESE with traces of an accompanying causeway may mark the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 23 November 2011
