What is recorded here
On a low ridge in pasture. Depicted as a large circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised circular area (diam. c. 57m) enclosed by a low scarp (H 0.3m), which has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary from SSW-W-WNW. The original entrance is not recognisable. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse, which has since been infilled.
