What is recorded here

A circular earthen ringfort stands in Grange Lower pasture, its scarped edge rising nearly two metres before surrendering to briars and cattle wear. The name Fairy fort suggests people once believed the land belonged elsewhere, yet the measured bank and external fosse point to human hands shaping a defensible space. Cattle still grind the northern edge, continuing a long process of erosion that began before memory.

In pasture, on W-facing slope. Circular area (25.9m E-W; 24.5m N-S) defined by scarped edge (H 1.9m; Wth 3.4m), with external fosse (D 0.35m) N->E. Scarp, largely overgrown with briars and bushes, is worn down by cattle on N side. Low earthen bank (H 0.25m; Wth 1m) atop scarp N->NE. Level interior partially overgrown with briars and bushes.
