What is recorded here

No visible fort remains in Carrownphull, only a dark grass band marking the vanished fosse on wet pasture. That missing line preserves the shape of a place people walked, defended or forgot before the land took it back.

On a gentle SSE-facing slope in wet low-lying pasture. A report in 1977 (SMR file) noted that this slightly raised circular area (diam. 36.5m; H 0.2m) was enclosed by a bank of earth and stone with an external fosse. The original entrance may have been either at W or N. Within the interior at S were a series of large stones aligned E-W, of unknown significance, with a large boulder lying immediately to the N of the W end. The bank and fosse have since been levelled but the outline of the fosse is indicated by a band of dark grass (Wth 5.5m). The other features noted are no longer evident. Compiled by: Patrick F.
