What is recorded here

Moss and ivy strangle a forty-metre oval wall in Cragbwee woodland, hiding a ringfort that later field walls cut and climb. The stones stand less than a metre high but span six metres thick, suggesting a heavy boundary rather than a temporary fence. People may have lived inside the uneven rock scatter before forgetting the shape entirely.

In a generally level area, in mixed woodland. A large, oval area (c. 40m N-S; c. 45m E-W) defined by a collapsed stone wall (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.9m; Wth at top 1.5m; overall Wth 6.6m) which is covered in moss and ivy. A later stone wall of different construction has been built on top of the enclosure wall NW-E-SW. A linear field wall (long-axis c. NNW-SSE) truncates the monument across the W sector. The interior is generally level and the surface is very uneven due to rock outcrop and a scatter of loose boulders. It is possible that there may be internal walls/structures, however this is not definitive due to dense vegetation and fallen trees.
