What is recorded here
No fairy appears in the facts, but the name still belongs to the hill. The true shape is a scarped earth ring, thirty metres long and nineteen wide, holding two mature trees inside pasture. That much is visible without inventing wonder.
In pasture, atop low hill. Semicircular area (30.5m N-S; 19.5m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 1.7m; Wth 7.4m) NNW->SSE. A field boundary, which formerly bisected enclosure has been removed and is now replaced by wire fence; no trace of enclosure evident of W side fence. Scarp lowers NNW->NNE (H 0.4m; Wth 4m) and SE->SSE (H 0.15m; Wth 2m). Level interior, under pasture, contains two mature deciduous trees in NW quadrant.
