Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Oldtown

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

In pasture, on slight S facing slope of ground with good views in all directions. Oval-shaped area (diam. 46m N-S; 37m E-W) defined by a poorly preserved bank mainly reduced to a scarp with slight remains of an external fosse that has been mainly filled in with the faintest traces of a possible outer bank. A water reservoir has been built immediately to the N. There are several gaps in the bank due to modern disturbance. A gap in the bank at SSE appears to be the original entrance gap (Wth 2.9m).
