What is recorded here

No visible entrance exists today, yet the eastern gap hints at a doorway where people once entered. The fort stands sixty-one metres across in undulating grassland, its bank and fosse still drawing a clear circle despite field walls cutting through. Large boulders sit intermittently atop the bank, marking a boundary that feels less like ruin and more like a threshold waiting to be remembered.

In undulating grassland. Circular rath (D 61m), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is present from SW through N to SE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. A number of large boulders are placed intermittently on top of the bank. The fosse survives from NW through N to E. A number of field walls cut the monument. A gap at E, although modern, could indicate original access. A CBG (GA029-110001-) lies in NE quadrant of the interior interior.
