What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not places to visit. They are places that remember being visited. This is one of them.
In level pasture. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. However, it is still evident as circular area (14.3m N-S; 13.2m E-W) defined by a scarped edge (ext. H 0.37m; Wth 2.6m) which is most prominent SSW->SSE. The interior is level and the entire site is under pasture.
