What is recorded here

Moss and manure may have built the fort, but grass and time have taken it back. The round border still stands beside the field, marked by a broken bank and a shallow ditch. It is the kind of place where people stopped asking questions and began living inside the answer.

In rough pasture, on top of a rise on a N-facing slope, with restricted views due to trees and bushes. A circular area (35m N-S; 34m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5.8m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.75m) NW-ENE with trees on top, by a scarp (Wth 2.5m; H 0.4m) SE-SW and by an overgrown bank with several breaks SW-NW. The bank is truncated by a tree-lined linear earthen field boundary ENE-SE. The interior is covered with rushes and slopes down to the N; it is largely obscured by overgrowth and is raised (H 0.4m) at S and (H 1.15m) at N to partially compensate for the hillslope.
