What is recorded here

Mortons and others may have inhabited the ringfort, but local tradition claims it belongs to fairies. The earth bank still stands on the low hill, marked by a narrow eastern entrance and scars where cattle broke through. Humans patched those gaps with rubble and iron sheeting, forcing their presence around an older claim rather than erasing it. The road skirting the monument suggests traffic has long treated the fairy fort as ordinary ground, even when the story says otherwise.

On a low drumlin hill in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 34.3m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.7m; H 0.2-1.1m). Cattle breaks in the bank have been blocked up with rubble and iron sheeting. An external fosse noted in 1976 (SMR file) is not visible at ground level. A roadway, which skirts the monument from SSW-W-NNW, probably overlies it. The present entrance (Wth 3.1m) at ESE may mark the site of the original one. Compiled by: Patrick F.
