What is recorded here

Clear the scrub, drop the ropes, and the fort appears: a thirty-metre circle of stone bank and shallow ditch on an open hill, with a possible gap at the north-west and old field walls beside it. People may have lived there, herded there, or simply kept others out before the land was divided into fields. The fairies never moved; they wait for human tools to reveal what they already know.

On a hill in an area of rock outcrop and scrubland recently cleared for grazing. Good views to W. A sub-circular area (int. diam. 30.3m) enclosed by a flat-topped, stoney bank and narrow fosse. Bank (ext. H 1.5m; max. Wth 3.4m) best preserved from E-S-W; to NW-W it is heavily overgrowth and overlain with field clearance material. Fosse (Wth 1.1m) is discernible from SE-S-SW-W; elsewhere it has been infilled. Near the centre, in the SE quadrant there is a house site (KK009-005001-). Possible entrance visible to NW (Wth 3.1m) may have been widened by livestock. Adjoining the fosse to N and S are field walls (KK009-005002-) employing large blocks of rock outcrop which may be of considerable antiquity. There is a large enclosure (KK009-092----) immediately to the S. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 14 May 2018
