What is recorded here
In undulating pasture, on a slight rise. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a small irregular field defined on the N, E and S sides by field boundaries and on the W by two buildings at right angles to each other. According to local information, this field was regarded as a fort. Present remains consist of a raised area (int. diam. 22m N-S; c. 30m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1m) N-SSW and truncated at W end by a house.
