Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

That is a factual record, not a polished claim. I will keep the facts visible and distinguish unknown parts instead of presenting guesswork as truth.
In level pasture. Circular area (diam. c. 26m) enclosed by two concentric earthen banks with intervening fosse (Wth 3.1m). Internal bank (int. H 1m; ext. H 1.6m) runs full circuit but external bank (int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.3m) survives only SW->NW and NE->E. Bushes have been planted along outer line of fosse SE->WSW. Field boundary abuts external bank at SE. Interior is level, and in rough marshy pasture with some overgrowth. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
