What is recorded here
Situated on elevated ground, in pasture, with limited views of the surrounding landscape. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a large circular-shaped earthwork. Shown on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subcircular-shaped earthwork. Bivallate ringfort described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 26m) enclosed by a bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The bank (ext. H 2-3m) is fairly steep on the exterior and the intervening fosse is shallow. There is a low outer bank. The interior of the earthwork is quite uneven and is obscured by vegetation. Monument is visible today as an oval-shaped tree-planted earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
