What is recorded here
No fairy fort, no phantom chamber, no hidden door. A broken stone ring sits atop a low hillock, partly buried under scrub and beside old field walls. The stones still mark a small enclosed place, even though the wall has collapsed and the land has taken much of it back.
In area covered by scrub vegetation, atop low limestone hillock. Circular area (diam. 26m) enclosed by collapsed dry-stone bank (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.75m). Bank best preserved S->WSW, becomes scarp-like (H 0.9m) WSW->WNW. Dry-stone field wall abuts bank at WNW, running along top to NE where it runs away to E from enclosure. Vegetation overgrowth obscures enclosing bank E->S. Field walls run close to base of external bank face along E and S sides, forming corner of field at SE. Interior uneven with loose stone and wood strewn about, slopes down to SE. Interior divided by low stone bank (H 0.45m), just E-of-centre, on NE-SW axis; area to W of dividing bank is slightly higher than remainder of interior.
