Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Craggs

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy forts are no joke. The fort in Craggs, drawn on an 1841 map but gone beneath industry, belongs to that tradition. A circle of earth may have stood there, and people may have lived inside it before the world changed. Forgetting it is not the same as losing it.
Site, indicated as circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, is located in area now occupied by industrial complex. No trace of monument evident when inspected. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
