What is recorded here
In fallow tillage, on a W-facing slope, just above a 500ft contour. Another bivallate ringfort (TS062-097----) lies c. 300m to the S. It is depicted on the 1903-04 ed. OS 6-inch map as a substantial circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 35-40m; overall diam. c. 100m) with a tertiary road running N-S along the W edge. According to Cahill (1982) a field inspection in 1975 found this monument in 'good condition [with] two banks [and] two ditches'. However the monument had been levelled by 1995 as aerial photographs (OS 1995; ASIAP (39) 12-20, 03/08/1996) show the ringfort as a circular cropmark with two clear fosses. The plough soil is notably more stony in the area of the monument, which is not visible at ground level.
