What is recorded here

Fairy forges fit human hands, not god games. They are not toys for child myths or victim tricks. They are visible in every life, in every choice, in every room where love or cruelty repeats. That is why they must be studied, not mocked.

Situated on a slight SW-facing slope. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 29.5m E-W; 29m N-S; int. diam. 27.5m E-W; 26.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank and hedge (at E: Wth of base 3.4m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.3m; at N: Wth of base 4.2m; int. H 0.4m; ext H 0.4m) NW-E-SW, with an external fosse (Wth of base 1.2m; ext. D 0.4m) NW-NE. The perimeter is formed by a slight scarp (H 0.7m) S-NW. An entrance gap at S could be the original entrance and the monument is circumscribed by a field bank NE-S. Rath (LE032-019----) is c. 35m to the E, and rath (LE032-021----) is c. 120m to the SSE.
