What is recorded here
No visible fort exists at Castlecore because the land swallowed the boundary. The missing entrance and buried bank suggest the fort stopped resisting human sight rather than disappearing through neglect.
On a low rise in pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 38m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a wide, shallow, external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. It is not visible at ground level.
