Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

A D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 60m E-W; c. 30m N-S) truncated by an E-W road at N is depicted as a hachured feature only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A modern dwelling occupies the interior and a scarp (H 1.5-1.8m) survives SE-SW but there is no visible fosse or entrance. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 19 June 2018
