What is recorded here
No visible entrance, no central hollow, no boundary marker. The fort is a hidden room in the hill, waiting for the right person to stop asking questions and listen. The nearby fort and the lost field line suggest two lives sharing one ridge before human tools cut the connection.
In pasture, on gentle W-facing slope below top of steep-sided hill. Sub-circular area (22.1m N-S; 22.4m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank with external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.15m) ENE->NW; enclosing element truncated by E-W field boundary NW->ENE. Bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.55m), best preserved SSE->S, has gaps at SSW (Wth 2.5m) and WSW (Wth 1.05m). Fosse, best preserved ENE->SSE, shallows SSE->S before fading out entirely SW->W. Interior, under rough pasture, slopes gently down to S. Another ringfort (LI019-18602-) lies immediately to NE and was probably conjoined to this enclosure before construction of field boundary between them.
