Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Appletown

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Appletown held a thirty-metre earthen ringfort that vanished before modern cameras arrived. The 1923 map still traces its circular embankment, but farm buildings now occupy the exact spot where the ancient boundary stood. The fort did not resist time; it surrendered to the practical needs of living people.
Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, is no longer evident and its location is now occupied by farm buildings. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
