Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated on a low natural ridge. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as a circular shaped enclosure annotated as ‘fort’. All that remains now is a low irregular ridge which has been substantially quarried into. No visible trace of the monument at this location which appears to have been quarried away.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
