What is recorded here
On the plateau of a gentle NE-SW ridge in rough pasture. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Visible on Digital Globe (2011-2013) as a ploughed-out circular area (diam. c. 38m) defined by a bank and fosse and on OSi orthophotography (1995) with possible entrances at E and SE. On inspection in 1998 there were no visible remains at ground level. A series of low banks and shallow ditches had been noted by the landowners but they were not distinguishable as a fort.
