Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Craggs

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Craggs once held a circular earthen fort roughly twenty-five metres across, though quarrying and scrub have since swallowed the visible trace. The loss suggests human tools and desire erased what life and memory might have preserved.
In area of mixed pasture, scrub and quarrying. Site, marked as circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, does not appear to be extant in area heavily modified by surface quarrying and covered by scrub overgrowth. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
