A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) is depicted only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map with trees on the perimeter but it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. It is an overgrown mound (diam. c. 15m), and it may have been a landscape feature, although there is no evidence that it was planted with trees. Revised by: Michael Moore
