Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Davidstown (pilsworth)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Davidstown holds a forgotten ring where human hands shaped earth into a circle before memory faded. The bank still stands forty-five metres across, though scrub has swallowed the entrance and hides the shallow ditch from most eyes. It is the kind of place that stops a person mid-step because the land has kept a shape larger than itself. What is forgotten there is not lost, only waiting for someone to stop claiming they understand it.
Circular area surrounded by an earthen bank with slight traces of fosse visible only at E (max diam. c. 45m). Entrance not identifiable. Heavily overgrown with scrub. Date of upload: 8 September 2016

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