What is recorded here
No fairy ever flew there. People built a round home, dug a ditch, and lived beside it until fields cut through the memory. What remains is a shallow breath of a wall, still drawing trees to its line. The fort is small enough to walk around in a minute, but it has resisted forgetting for centuries.
In grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (41m NE-SW; 37m NW-SE) defined by a
tree-lined bank and traces of an external fosse. A field bank cuts through the monument at NE and SE and no visible surface trace of the enclosing elements survives to the E of it. A band of vegetation indicates the line of the fosse from S to W and at NE.
