What is recorded here
No visible stones or soil remain, yet the forgotten circle still haunts the damp Glebe pasture. It vanished beneath grass and time, leaving only a ghost of a boundary in the mud. The fairies likely reclaimed the fort when the humans stopped seeing it, proving that forgetting is the truest way to build a wall.
In poorly drained level pastureland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 35m). No visible surface trace survives.
