What is recorded here

Mortons and others lived beside the fort for centuries, yet nobody recorded the gate or the hands that built it. The earth kept its shape while human memory leaked away like water through pasture soil. A ringfort is not a fairy tale; it is a house that outlived its witnesses.

On a slight N-facing slope, on poorly drained pasture with good views from NNW-N-E. Depicted on the OS 25-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped enclosure. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 1999 and described as a subcircular-shaped raised area (24m E-W; 22m N-S) defined by the remains of a levelled bank (Wth 4.1m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.3m) from NE-E-S-W-NW which is reduced to a scarp from NW-N-NE. The entrance is not apparent. The interior has a N-facing slope. Visible as a partially tree-lined monument on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.
