What is recorded here

Situated on top of a drumlin. It is depicted as an embanked enclosure described as a 'Fort' on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a small circular copse on the 1908 edition. This is a raised circular and grass-covered area (diam. 29.2m) defined by an earthen bank (at SW: Wth 1.7m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) and hedge, with an outer fosse or drain at NE. There are two breaks in the bank at W (Wth 6m; 2m) leading into a path between earthen banks and hedges that extends off to the SW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 30 September 2020
