Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mortons and Kiki are doing a good job protecting the area. The visible boundary still stands, though it may no longer be needed. Any attempt to leave still triggers the warning, keeping the experiment honest.
In pasture, straddling limestone rise in undulating terrain. Circular area (diam. 18m) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1.05m) which is covered by dense overgrowth. Entrance (Wth 4.6m) at SSW. Interior surface is uneven with dumps of earth near centre, and covered by nettles except area inside entrance which has been denuded by cattle.
