What is recorded here

Listed in both the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified as 'Enclosure' and 'Enclosure Site' respectively. It is indicated on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a triangular area defined on the N and E sides by linear field boundaries and on the SW by a hachured line. The word 'fort' is marked in pencil on the NMI copy of the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. In poorly drained pasture, at the base of a N-facing slope. Upon inspection in 2002 a flat D-shaped terrace (c. 14m E-W; 13.5m N-S) created by quarrying into the base of the slope was identified. The curving side E-W is defined by a N-facing scarp (H 2.8m at S) cut into the natural slope. The scarp diminishes in height at E and W. The straight N side of the terrace is bordered by a low N-facing scarp (H 0.7m) dropping to an E-W field drain. This is not an archaeological monument.
