Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated on the E side of a slight rise in pasture-land, with good views in all directions. Bog 135m to NE and 155m to SW. A sub-circular area (diam. 25m NW-SE) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank and a narrow shallow round-bottomed fosse, which has been filled in at S. The interior slopes gently from NW-SE. The site has been levelled since the site visits in 1975, and is now visible only as a faint crop mark on the Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011.
