What is recorded here

Scrub and wet pasture now hide the broken circle at Tobermalug, but a road still cuts through the western edge of the ancient earthworks. The fort is small enough to walk across in a minute, yet its ditch, bank and scarped edge show that people shaped the land on purpose. It may have been a homestead, a boundary marker or a place of seasonal use. The fairies keep the remainder, waiting for human certainty to thin before they reveal what the circle was really for.

Situated immediately E of a road in low-lying, poorly-drained pasture on a gentle W-facing slope. The monument consists of a roughly circular area (17.2m E-W; 15.7mN-S) defined by a scarped edge (Wth 3.1m; H 0.8m) with an external fosse (Wth 4.5m) and a counter-scarp bank (int. H 0.3m; Wth 2.6m; ext. H 0.2m) to S. Scrub overgrowth obscures the scarp from NE to SW. The road/field boundary truncates the enclosing element at W. The interior slopes down gently to SE.
