Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Clara Upper

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and the 1900 revision as a roughly circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 52m) with a field boundary running roughly E-W along and truncating the N edge. The 25-inch OS map depicts the interior as being enclosed by a wide fosse and the W-NW edge has been disturbed by a small quarry which extends beyond the edge of the monument. It is heavily overgrown by scrub and trees. The field immediately N of the monument is under tillage and that surrounding it to the E-S-W is under pasture.
