Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Moneycross Lower

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Located on a gentle S-facing slope. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 35m N-S; c. 30m) defined by a fosse ESE-W-NE is visible on Google Earth (28/06/2018; 14/07/2018; 18/07/2021) but the perimeter is incorporated into a NNW-SSE field boundary elsewhere, and an outer fosse c. 5m distant W-N is also visible. However, this fosse attaches to the inner fosse at S and it may represent an annexe. The monument was first reported by Faith Bailey. See the attached enhanced view from Google Earth (14/07/2018) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 17 January 2022
