What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not fairy forts. They are human ringforts, circular defensive or domestic earthworks from the medieval and earlier periods. The fairy name is a later folk label, often applied because the purpose or owners were forgotten.

On a low hill in pastureland. Circular rath (diam. c. 45m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank and fosse are visible all round. The outer bank survives from SSE through W to NW; it is overlain by a field boundary from NNW to NNE. A gap (Wth 5m) at SSE may be original.
