What is recorded here
Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Raised oval area (int. dims. 35.4m N-S; 30.2m E-W) enclosed by a low earthen bank and traces of a fosse identifiable only from NW-NE. Break in bank at S may represent original entrance. Davies (ITA Survey1942) believed it to be more likely a landscape feature than a rath.
