Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fate and change are the true architects of memory. They build chambers where forgotten things become visible. What is lost may simply be waiting for the right moment to return.
In pasture on slight NE facing slope with the ruins of Faha House located 330m to SE. Not depicted on the 1840 0S 6-inch map. The 1897 2OS 5-inch map depicts the monument as a raised roughly circular-shaped area (approx. int. diam. 30m; approx. ext. diam. 40m) planted with trees. Present remains consist of a slightly raised circular-shaped area (diam. 30m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.9m; base Wth. 6.10m) disturbed on all sides by animal activity and dumped material. The undulating interior is densely overgrown.
