Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Curry (moydow By., Moydow Ed)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Moydow Fort vanished beneath pasture long before cameras existed, leaving only a circular line on an 1837 map. That drawn boundary still belongs to the field, even when grass and rain have erased its ridge. The fort may have housed people, excluded cattle or marked a boundary now forgotten. Its absence does not remove it from the landscape; it simply stopped answering every form of witness.
