What is recorded here
Located on the crest of, and towards the S end of a NNW-SSE drumlin ridge. An embanked circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, and as a small hachured feature on the 1907 edition. There is a small overgrown enclosure defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; H 1.25m) which may be a quarry but there is no evidence of a larger enclosure.
