What is recorded here
Situated on top of a high steep-sided oval-shaped hill, in low-lying wet grass-land. Good views to S, W, and N. Poorly preserved remains of a possible ringfort that has been largely removed by quarrying. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as a circular-shaped enclosure and annotated on map as ‘fort’. This monument has been almost completely levelled. All that remains is a short segment of scarp (average H 2.1m) at WNW. Elsewhere the site is pitted with quarry holes and burrows.
