What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Parksgrove is a broad oval earthwork, forty-eight metres across, set on a low gravel ridge where grass rolls away in every direction. Its outer bank is still wide and unbroken, but the inner ridge and ditch have faded from the south half, as if the field itself forgot part of the shape. The eastern gap is broader than a living entrance should be, perhaps widened by carts, feet or time. Whatever lived inside, it did so on open ground, watched by no wall but the sky.

On land rising slightly to the E, on a low gravel ridge of a valley floor, in rolling grassland. There are good views in all directions. A roughly oval area (diam. 48m E-W, 39m N-S) enclosed by a low, wide bank (Wth 2m). From NW-N-NE there are slight traces of an internal bank (Wth 2m; int. H c. 1m; ext. H 1.4-2m) with intervening fosse (Wth 5m; D 1.8m). It is possible that the internal bank and intervening fosse have been levelled in the southern half of the monument, leaving only the outer bank as the visible enclosing element. Entrance (Wth 5-6m) at E, probably widened. The interior is level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 30 January 2018
