What is recorded here
On a N-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 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone. There was no trace of a fosse and the original entrance was not recognisable. It has since been levelled and is not visible at ground level.
