What is recorded here

Ten paces wide and thirty across, the fort still stands on its hillock in Liscune Upper, its double banks and central ditch unbroken from south through west to northeast. A stone causeway marks the southern entrance, while a long rectangular hollow cuts the northwest interior like a forgotten room. Whether that hollow is a collapsed passage or a buried chamber, no one now living can say. The grass grows thick around it, and the fort keeps its shape because nobody has thought to remove it.

On a hillock in gently rolling grassland. Circular rath (D 30.5m) (GA073-112----), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The fosse and outer bank survive from S through W to NE. There is a stone-lined entrance causeway (Wth 3.2m) at S. Within NW sector of the interior is a rectangular hollow (L 10.5m), running E-W; possibly a Man-made underground passage (GA073-112001-).
