What is recorded here

Half the fort is gone, eaten by a field bank or forgotten by ploughmen, leaving a D-shaped scar on the drumlin slope where a complete circle once stood. What remains is a shallow breath of earth, barely sixty centimetres high, yet wide enough to suggest hands that dug and built without hesitation. The missing eastern half does not feel like loss so much as invitation, as if the fort stepped aside to let the land continue its own shape.

Located towards the bottom of the SE-facing slope of a drumlin. This is now a grass-covered D-shaped area (dims 45m N-S; c. 25m E-W) defined by the slight remains of an earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 4.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) and an external fosse (at W: Wth of top 4.6m; Wth of base 2.5m; ext. D 0.9m) S-W-N. The monument is bisected by a N-S field bank and has been removed E of this feature.
