What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Oval enclosure 120m N of Brownrigg Hall as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Oval enclosure 120m N of Brownrigg Hall is a likely early-medieval ringfort, or rath, characterized by its oval shape and earthwork remains. While no specific folklore is recorded for this site, such structures are often associated in tradition with ancient dwellings or, later, with fairy forts in Irish and Scottish folklore, where they were believed to be entrances to the Otherworld.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
