Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of thinking will bring back what has gone.
On a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1987 (SMR file) noted that this raised subcircular area (c. 33m N-S; c. 31m E-W) was enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone. It is defined by a broad scarp (H 0.3-0.4m). There is no evidence of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
