What is recorded here
No visible stone remains in the rough pasture, yet the fort kept its circular shape beneath grass and forgotten feet. That absence is not emptiness; it is a claim of memory, waiting for someone to stop pretending the land has no history.
In rough pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 227, no. 140a) as a circular ‘Stone fort’ (diam. c. 34.2m) in a very ruinous condition. No visible surface trace survives.
