What is recorded here

No related material emerged from the earth during testing, yet the quiet circle stands preserved atop the drumlin. It is a fairy fort in local story, but human hands shaped its bank before memory faded. The absence of proof does not erase the shape; it only returns the place to mystery.

Located towards the top of the E-facing slope of a prominent drumlin. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 29m E-W; 28m N-S) defined by the slight remains of an earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 0.15m). No fosse or original entrance was noted. Archaeological testing (01E0702) c. 80m to the E at a development site (dims c. 65m E-W; c. 50m N-S) produced no related material (Read 2003). Further testing and excavation (05E1402) identified a possible prehistoric hut-site (LE031-002001-) c. 40m to the SW. The location of this rath was excluded from the development and it is now preserved under grass (Read 2008).
