What is recorded here
On a NW-facing slope c. 150m to the S of the Camlin River. Depicted as the E half of a rectangular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised circular area (diam. 35.8m) enclosed by a narrow low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.8m; H 0.4m max.), which has been levelled from ESE-SE-S and from NW-N-NNE. The outline of the latter section is still evident. There is no trace of a fosse. A report in 1975 (SMR file) suggested that the original entrance may have been at S. It is no longer identifiable. The interior, which is heavily waterlogged, slopes appreciably from SE-NW.
