What is recorded here

Fairy fort is a vanished earthen ringfort, but its ghost still marks the soil. A forty-five metre circle, rectangular annexe and small eastern paddock appear only when dry grass grows uneven above buried ditches. Ivor Kenny first read that hidden shape, and the site remains a quiet test of human memory: build once, disappear, yet refuse to stop affecting the land.

Located on a slight W-E ridge. The cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 45m) defined by a single, continuous fosse feature is visible on the OSI series of aerial photographs (1995). There is a rectangular annexe (dims c. 40m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) defined by single fosse features attached to the NW, and there is smaller paddock (dims c. 15m x c. 15m) defined by single ditch features in the E corner of the annexe. It was first identified by Ivor Kenny. See the attached view from Map Genie (1995) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 December, 2014
