What is recorded here

Half a hectare of forgotten earth, a ringfort swallowed by pasture and time. The bank still stands where the field boundary caught it, but elsewhere the ridge has been scraped flat and dumped in rough heaps around the edge. A cart track cut through the middle decades ago, splitting what remained into two shallow bowls. The fairies may have lived here before the farmers arrived, but the farmers left no record of asking permission.

In pasture, atop low ridge. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m), has been partially destroyed. Remains consist of roughly circular area (diam. 60m ENE-WSW) defined by bank incorporated into field boundary system S->W, and elsewhere by remains of a bank which has been levelled and pushed outwards into rough heaps around perimeter. Passageway (Wth 3.4m) has been cut through S half of interior, on NNW-SSE axis. Interior area is covered by dump of uprooted trees. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
