What is recorded here

No visible entrance gap or interior shelf appears in the available description, but the circular stone wall and collapsed outer segment still mark a built boundary. The fort may have excluded herds, marked territory or excluded people during storm and dark. Its stones still stand because they were set to remain visible, not to hide.

In improved pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. Pockets of native woodland W-NW and forestry and woodland to E. A circular area (diam. 22m) defined by a well-preserved, substantial stone wall (int. H 0.85m; ext. H 1.25m; Wth at top 1.7m; overall Wth 6.4m). There is evidence of stone facing along the interior of the wall top at E. An entrance gap (Wth 3m) is located at N. The interior has a gentle WSW-facing slope and the surface is uneven due to the presence of rock outcrop and loose stones. A portion of collapsed drystone wall (L 8m; Wth 2.5m) extends in a curvilinear fashion from the interior of the enclosing elements at SSW. The ground between this collapsed wall and the main enclosing elements appears sunken. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-096----_01.jpg From W. General view of monument.
