What is recorded here
Water and forgetting have replaced the fort. The ring stood on a rise above flat land, marked as a fort on the 1837 map, then a reservoir took its stones, soil and shape. What people kept inside, or shut out, has gone with it.
On a rise on otherwise level ground. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument has been destroyed due to the construction of a reservoir.
