What is recorded here

Fairy forts are misread human buildings, often ordinary ringforts or abandoned settlements that lost their names and became folklore. The true exception is a small number of places where the chamber, chamber shape or visible structure still matches the claim and can be tested.

In pasture, on gentle N-facing slope in undulating terrain, marshy area adjoins to NW. Circular area (27.5m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank with external fosse (D 0.9m; Wth 1.95m). Bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. 1.5m), best preserved along E side, denuded by cattle to form gaps at SSW (Wth 1.9m) and SW (Wth 1.1m). Fosse is crossed by field boundaries at S and NNE, which abut enclosing bank. Level interior under grass except for centre and NE quadrant which are covered by dense overgrowth. Mature beech tree grows atop bank at SSE, with a mixture of ash and thorn covering bank elsewhere.
