What is recorded here

No visible entrance to the old ring, which measures forty metres across and dates from before human memory on the land. The fort has become a working paddock, its ancient boundary redirected into a drainage ditch and concrete wall. Inside the circle stands a pump house and a water tap, transforming the fairy residence into a farmyard utility. The boundary between the seen and unseen worlds has collapsed into practical plumbing.

In pasture, atop low rise in gently undulating terrain, immediately SE of farmyard. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been modified to form small paddock attached to farmyard. Now consists of roughly circular area (38m N-S; 39m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.85m) with recent drainage ditch running immediately outside it N->SW, and defined by concrete-block wall SW->N. Gate in block wall gives access to interior; just inside wall to NW is pump house and there is tap on post in centre of enclosure. A hedge has been planted along inside base of enclosing bank NE->SE.
