Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1929 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular feature (diam. c. 40m) and situated towards the bottom of the N-facing slope of a low NW-SE ridge. It was described in 1963 as a sub-rectangular area defined by a slight bank and wide fosse (SMR file). It is not now visible at ground level in pasture, but is visible as a circular area (int. diam. c. 45m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by what might be two fosse features on OSI aerial images (2005, 2018). Bowl-barrow (RO021-058----) is c. 170m to the SE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 29 November 2018
