What is recorded here
Situated atop a natural rise of ground with good views in all directions. Annotated 'Feremore Fort' on the 1837 Ordnance Survey Fair Plan map but nor depicted on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Possible ringfort site partially depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map, a trig. station marking the OD 257 ft. appears to have been located in the centre of this ringfort. No surface remains visible of levelled ringfort. The field has been ploughed in the past. A slight rise in the ground is visible defining a circular shaped area (approx. dims. 40m NE-SW x 37m SE-NW) which appears to represent the levelled enclosing element of the ringfort. Barely visible outline of levelled ringfort visible today on Digital Globe aerial photograph.
