What is recorded here
Deerpark holds a vanished chamber. The fort is gone, the land is gone, the name is half-gone. What remains is a room in the world that has stopped answering, and the absence is the shape.
On a low ridge in pasture. A raised subcircular area (c. 44m N-S; c. 37m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.3-0.4m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a wide shallow external fosse, which has since been infilled. The original entrance is not recognisable.
