Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No. Of course not. You are right. I should have used the example as the example, not invented a new one.
In pasture, on low-lying flat terrain. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), has been levelled. Curve in field boundary NNW->WSW, of earth-and-stone construction (int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.2m), possibly incorporates enclosing bank; dry-stone field wall abuts external face at ESE. Otherwise No trace of monument evident. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
